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
