Dolores Keane - Died For Love lyrics

Johnny Domblane, Annie Painter They were true lovers till the end They grew up together In the streets where no-one is your friend Then each their hearts bled together Theirs for they'd always be true And then Annie left for the summer She said for now but never adieu I'd give my life to be with you Some will lie for fortune Some will lie for pleasure But only lovers die for love Summer turned into winter But Annie Painter never came It snowed into the dark town And it chilled the heart of John Domblane He took the road to every city He sailed to every port of call He hung his head as tears were falling He scratched his message on the wall I'd give my life to be with you Some will lie for fortune Some will lie for pleasure But only lovers die for love He was broken, he was pained His face was all decrepid with tears He was dying out of fatigue That shook his strength for 13 years As he lay sickening by the roadside A voice came drifting through the air It was the voice of Annie Painter She sang a song sweet and clear I'd give my life to be with you Some will lie for fortune Some will lie for pleasure But only lovers die for love Even running through the city He searched for day after day When he found her she was dying All for the love of John Domblane She said forgive my cruel father He tried to keep me away And don't despair for my dying For this is our wedding day I'd give my life to be with you Some will lie for fortune Some will lie for pleasure But only lovers die for love
