Oh Susanna — Beauty Boy lyrics

Lyrics

I crawled for you
Hands and knees turn blue
But your cruelty soon told me Nothing would do Punishment
Clothes and rags I rent
But nothing would stop my Heart’s lament
Why do you break me Force me, forsake me?
When you love me not hate me My beauty boy
A treasure chest
Under waves of wet
Part to reveal
My sweet secret
Take my flesh
Steal away my breath
Still a foolish hope follows
Wise regret
When will you love me?
In a thousand years only
But you never will own me My beauty boy
