No Wonder

Lyrics

I stole a glance at my reflection

Though these days I tend to hurry by

How pale the rose of my complexion

How strange the knowing look that's in my eye

But when the springtime was ablaze

You took my hand, you held my gaze

There is no wonder there

I learned my lesson well

No need to wonder where that girl has gone

There is a secret no one knows

I set my face, I changed my clothes

I dreamed I stood as you were passing

Just as the horse-drawn carriage sped away

Of petticoats in puddles dragging

And my highbutton boots were splashed with clay

But when the summer was in flame

You broke your word, denied my name

There is no wonder there

I learned my lesson well

No need to wonder where that girl has gone

But as the winter drags along

It blurs your sense of right and wrong

There is no wonder there

I learned my lesson well

No need to wonder where that girl has gone
