Jens Haugan: Lady of the wood

When you entered my life you were pretty young.
I was looking for a wife and you were still looking for fun.
You were drinking and smoking and you loved to go out.
I was a thinker and a reader and I loved to be a scout.

Yes, you entered my life and you left everything behind.
You wanted to be my wife and love really made you blind.
You stopped drinking and smoking and never went out alone.
You tried to keep up with my thinking and reading and you always stayed at home.

But when we entered the wood I knew you were my elf.
You were always looking so good and I though you'd found yourself.
You forgot drinking and smoking and convinced me you felt free.
I thought you could be a thinker and a reader and I thought you felt like me.

After some time I noticed that you had lost your smile.
You were always looking so sad, but it took me quite a while
to realize that you were not belonging to me nor in the wood.
I knew I had to let you go. I finally understood.

Lady of the wood you were my princess, you were my elf.
I adored you and I worshipped you, but I didn't see that you lost yourself.

Now you have left my life. You still are pretty young.
You are not ready to be a wife and you deserve your kind of fun.
You should be allowed to drink and smoke and go out whenever you want.
For you, my life isn't good. It's only me who belongs in the wood.

Lady of the wood you were my princess, you were my elf.
I adored you and I worshipped you, but I didn't see how you lost yourself.
