Agony Lyrics
[ 1: Gavin Creel]
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
[: Gavin Creel]
Agony
Beyond power of speech
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach
[ 2: Joshua Henry]
High in her tower
She sits by the hour
Maintaining her hair
Blithe and becoming
And frequently humming
A lighthearted air
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[: Joshua Henry]
Agony
Far more painful than yours
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors
[: Gavin Creel & Joshua Henry]
Agony
Oh, the torture they teach
[ 3: Gavin Creel, Joshua Henry,
Gavin Creel & Joshua Henry]
What’s as intriguing
Or half so fatiguing
As what’s out of reach?
[: Gavin Creel, Joshua Henry,
Gavin Creel & Joshua Henry]
Am I not sensitive, clever
Well-mannered, considerate
Passionate, charming
As kind as I’m handsome
And heir to a throne?
You are everything maidens could wish for!
Then why no—?
Do I know?
The girl must be mad
You know nothing of madness
Till you’re climbing her hair
And you see her up there
As you’re nearing her
All the while hearing her
“Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah—”
[: Gavin Creel, Joshua Henry,
Gavin Creel & Joshua Henry]
Agony
Misery
Woe
Though it’s different for each
Always ten steps behind
Always ten feet below
And she’s just out of reach
[: Gavin Creel & Joshua Henry]
Agony
That can cut like a knife
I must have her to wife
