Don’t you dare, love
Don’t you dare
Come to me at this late hour
Don’t you dare, love
Please, not now
Not at this ungrateful hour
Not after dreams have forsaken me
Not after hope has betrayed me
Not after fate has
stared at me with scorn
Not after I’ve lost,
not after I’ve mourned
Don’t be cruel, love
Don’t be crude
There is nothing more
I want from you
Not after I’ve wrapped my heart
and made my bed
Not after I’ve vowed to give
my soul some rest
Don’t you dare, love
Don’t you dare
Not at this forgotten hour
Don’t you see
Oh, can’t you see
The walls are bare
Surrounding me
Don’t you dare love
No! not now
Not at this ungodly hour!
