Hello,
A pretty girl with shining blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes
Who acquaintance I made years ago
A wealthy young heiress
An unmarried lady who is clearly enthralled by me
Perhaps Miss Walker and I could become "friends"
Another opportunity to fulfill my lifelong ambition
To love and be loved by someone I can call my wife
Goodbye,
My sweet Ann
My good little girl
The woman I love in spite of myself
At first it was only a bit of fun
A way to forget about Vere
Over time I grew more and more fond of her
Until my esteem grew into genuine feelings
For a brief shining moment the future was in our grasp
But once again the world condemns who I am, what we are
I hoped you would be stronger than all the rest but it always ends this way
With a my heart
Despite all that I can't bear to see you suffer
Haunted by voices in the night
I'd rather keep you by my side in York
For your sake I need to be selfless and let you go
Scotland may be the only place where you can recover
Ann, when next we meet I pray you'll be yourself again
That you'll still love me
