Rupert Holmes - Rosa's Confession lyrics

[Rosa] Were you so blind? You could not see? I k**ed him, yes! And it was wonderful to do, I do confess! To have him done, to do him in, to see it through… You surely know by now I meant to murder you! Thought you I was so blind As not to know your mind: Of what intent each compliment you claimed you meant as kind To feel myself unrobed and probed With every movement of your eyes— Oh, but realize! A child can go quite mad And not know good from bad And calmly plan to k** a man, and feel but only glad To rid herself, to bid herself a murderous goodbye— Not Edwin who I sought, but you! I meant for you to die! But the night was far from bright Thick with wet and thunder Thatching fell, dispatched from hell Is it yet a wonder? Could not see the arms of me Stretched out with scarf in hand Saw your coat and tied Ned's throat Just like a deadly wedding band… So long a time They've thought That I'm a Dresden doll Quite na?ve But I believe This pain, my brain More tortured than they might conceive! With these late additions I have now revealed Murderous admissions Hitherto concealed— Damn you all, I say You let him drive me mad! Madness led to this; No good can come from bad! No good, no good can come from bad!
