Irene
=====
You are the finest lass I've ever seen,
Never will touch your hair, copper and clean.
Seems that I have missed the chance, seems you are gone,
Never will I kiss your lips under the Sun.

Irene, see me, standing here alone, so cold
I've never been.
Irene, the name brings to me this image that
Never was same.

Why don't you come here now, I'll never know,
Never will I hold your hand, cheer you when low.
You are the finest lass I've ever seen,
Never will touch your hair, copper and clean.

Irene, come here, I have spent a lot for you,
too little I fear.
Irene, I tried. The only thing I'm happy with
is that you replied.
