Selena

...a kind of Tragic Love song.

He was a shepherd who tended to his flock.

She was The Moon and each night she would stock

When he laid his head down upon cool rock.



But, oh, Selena

Why do you cry

Oh, Selena

Try as you might?



Well, some folks say it was her wicked

Goddess spell that kept closed his eyes.

And other folks say it was that man's

Mortality which drew her in each time.

But the wise ones know it was that true lovers curse

That kept them warm through the night.



But, oh, Selena

Why do you cry

Oh, Selena

Try as you might?
