Lyrics Agony - Robert Westenberg, Chuck Wagner

Did I abuse her or shower her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her, how shall I regain the heart she has won from me?
Agony!
Beyond power of speech
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach
High in her tower
She sits by the hour maintaining her hair
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming a light hearted air
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah!
Agony!
Far more painful than yours!
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors.
Agony!
Oh the torture they teach!
What′s as intriguing
Or half so fatiguing
As what's out of reach
Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate
Passionate, charming, as kind as I′m handsome and heir to a throne?
You are everything maidens could wish for
Then, why no?
Do I know?
That girl must be mad!
You know nothing of madness
'Till you're climbing her hair and you see her up there as you′re nearing her
All the while hearing her: ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah-AGONY
Misery, woe, though it′s different for each
Always ten steps behind
Always ten feet below
And she's just out of reach
Agony! That can cut like a knife.
I must have her to wife!
