The Loving Time Lyrics - Singles - Black Mary

It reads like a fairytale 

And that's what it was 

Young man in his prime 

Young girl from the cross 

The most perfect of strangers 

And then the night closed in 

And the holy ground took care of everything 

Now she was a fine one 

And he was a handsome man 

One look was enough 

And away they ran 

They spent many happy hours 

And then the night closed in 

And the holy ground took care of everything 

Oh what's the use in complaining 

In for a penny in for a pound 

I remember the loving time 

And nothing else really counts 

And I recall the promise they made 

With a faith I can but admire 

That she'd be the one he adored 

And he'd be her heart's desire 

It didn't come true in the end 

They went their separate ways 

He couldn't change what he was 

She wasn't ready to wait 

They couldn't live in the daylight 

They let the night close in 

And the holy ground took care of everything 

I remember the loving time 

And nothing else really counts
