The Gorge
Tragic Tale Unveiled: Love, Betrayal, and the Gorge
Lyrics
I can hear these awful screams
The narrator hears distressing screams.
It's you, sweet page, that haunts me dreams
The memory of someone dear torments the narrator's dreams.
Each night again I watch you fall
The narrator witnesses the recurring downfall of the person in their dreams.
Each day a mark onto the wall
Each passing day signifies a marking of time, possibly highlighting the duration of suffering or guilt.
My husband never cared for me
The narrator's husband was indifferent or uncaring.
And he will never set me free
There's an implication that the narrator feels trapped or unable to escape from the marriage.
I never meant to be untrue
The narrator acknowledges being unfaithful unintentionally.
And he'd not know were it not for you
The narrator's secret affair might remain hidden if not for the involvement of the "page."
Each day I walked through beech and pine
The narrator describes peaceful walks in nature.
The sweet air filled my head like wine
The beauty of the surroundings brings immense joy.
Until one day I met a knight
The narrator encountered someone new, a knight.
For us it was love at first sight
The narrator and the knight fell in love immediately.
I can hear these awful screams
The distressing screams persist in the narrator's mind.
It's you, sweet page, that haunts me dreams
The memory of the page continues to disturb the narrator's dreams.
Each night again I watch you fall
The narrator witnesses the fall of the page repeatedly in dreams.
Each day a mark onto the wall
The marking of time with each passing day persists.
Weeks went by and all was well
Initially, everything seemed fine.
But you would follow me to hell
The page, metaphorically or literally, persists in causing trouble.
You told my husband, jealous page
The page betrayed the narrator by informing the husband about the affair.
And sparked in him a burning rage
The husband became furious due to the page's revelation.
He rode to strike my true love down
The husband went to confront the knight.
My knight just turned his horse around
The knight chose to flee rather than confront the husband.
Away they ran towards the gorge
Both the husband and the knight head towards a gorge, a dangerous place.
You took the tail of his great horse
The page tried to stop the knight by holding onto the horse.
I can hear these awful screams
The haunting screams continue to disturb the narrator.
It's you, sweet page, that haunts me dreams
The page's memory persists in troubling dreams.
Each night again I watch you fall
The recurring fall of the page is witnessed again in dreams.
Each day a mark onto the wall
Time keeps passing, leaving its mark.
I never saw a jump so long
The narrator observes a significant and desperate action.
You clung so tight but were not strong
The page attempted to hold on but lacked strength.
Away he ran as down you fell
The knight fled while the page fell down.
Now I am dying in this cell
The narrator feels trapped and close to death, possibly metaphorically.
I can hear these awful screams
The distressing screams echo relentlessly.
It's you, sweet page, that haunts me dreams
The page's memory haunts the narrator's dreams consistently.
Each night again I watch you fall
The recurring fall of the page remains a haunting image in the narrator's mind.
Each day a mark onto the wall
Each passing day continues to be marked by this haunting memory.
