[Verse 1] It was on a fair September night That my lover came to me I said, Darling girl, youre strange to me now Not like you used to be I remember you as a beautiful rose Out in the morning light But now your cheeks so silent and pale And you only walk at night [Refrain] Oh yes, the sun is hateful and sore On the racing streets at noon And so I wait alone through the day And like the jasmine bloom [Verse 2] Then she left me there as I Iay in a thirst That water could not quell And her voice was sad and soft in her throat As she bid m last farewell [Refrain] And now the sun is hatful and sore On the racing streets at noon And so I wait alone through the day And like the jasmine bloom
jasmine, racing, noon, sore, bloom
