You cautioned me to not risk my being
That I should run while I still had the chance
And I could never undo this leaping
I knew I should hear all you were speaking
Yet I could not look away from your glance
You cautioned me to not risk my being

Nonsensical voices I was hearing
Would beg me to linger in this romance
And I could never undo this leaping

It was sin to want you for my keeping
but your vibrant stare kept me in a trance
You cautioned me to not risk my being

Into your vicious path was I creeping

Without even feeling one bit askance
And I could never undo this leaping

I ardently gave into this yearning
Of which I am now paying for, perchance
You cautioned me to not risk my being
And I could never undo this leaping
