I weave with brightly colored strings
To keep my mind off other things
So, ladies, let your fingers

dance
And keep your hands out of romance


Lovely witches
Let the stitches
Keep your fingers under

control
Cut the thread, but leave
The whole heart whole


Merrry maids can sew and sleep
Wives can only

sew and weep
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make-believe

Falling in love with love
Is
playing the fool


Caring too much is juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just

For children in school
I
fell in love with love one night

When the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see


I fell
in love with love

With love everlasting
But love fell out with me
