They placed upon her bosom br The scarlet letter of the foul br Now everywhere she would go or went br They would point their fingers now br br The sly remarks the gestured eyes br No one would they love not br Of course there is her lover too br The price she paid for what br br Forsaken by he too and all br Alone the tears would fall br Each step now taken she would take alone br She had answered her own hearts call br br Oh the price she pays for forbidden love br When is ever enough br She suffers now for what they say she is br She was only in love br br For her heart she had followed true br Now of stone would grow through years br But at last and of all they took br They could not forsake the tears.
