Eternal Loser Various Artists

[Verse 1]
I loved a girl named Ruth once but lost her on my way
I saw her shadow walking on a shore leave world today
And now it’s time for going; I leave this world behind
I’ve even lost her shadow, save the one left on my mind

[Verse 2]
I loved dark Miramanee on a world called Paradise
I dreamed away a season there, my years drowned in her eyes
All duty was forgotten, all thought of death denied
I held her in my arms all night and in my arms she died

[Verse 3]
I loved sweet, bright-eyed Edith outside time’s written line
She told me all her secrets and I never told her mine
My world’s survival waited, asked all I could devise
I kept a friend from saving her; she fell before my eyes

[Verse 4]
There was a maid named Rayna once, immortal and unknown
I battled with Methuselah to have her love alone
Her battle was the harder, too fierce, too bittersweet
It tore her untried heart in two; she crumbled at my feet

[Verse 5]
I love them and I lose them and too many times they die
I come home broken-hearted and back to my stars I fly
My steel and star-drive lady, I keep no love but you
And when this mission’s over, I suppose you’ll leave me too
I guess you’ll leave me too
