lyrics

Her parents named her so
A man like me could find
A girl I thought I could know
On Agony’s Night

I stumbled into the bar that night
Looking for a drink or a fight
Never did I think I might
Have her lead my skeptic sight

I asked her her name, she frowned
She said “It’s one of reknowned.
Every man I’ve loved has drowned
Before their wife I could be crowned”

So Agony lead me please
To the place I call home
Oh, Agony, you’ll ever be
The girl of my very own

Oh Agony, I finally see
The point you were trying to make
You only would marry me
If I were at the bottom of a lake

So Agony lead me please
To the place I call home
Oh, Agony, you’ll ever be
The girl of my very own

Oh my eyes were closed so I was blind
I never thought I would find
That to a man you were never kind
And to kill me you would try

I asked the barman the very next day
Why you acted this way
He gasped and said, “You escaped from her?
She’s been dead, twenty years away.”

Oh Agony, I finally see
The point you were trying to make
You only would marry me
If I were at the bottom of a lake

So Agony lead me please
To the place I call home
Oh, Agony, you’ll ever be
The girl of my very own
The girl of my very own
The girl of my very own
