How Was I To Know?
I only followed my heart, the dart Not long before How was I to know |
|
How was I to know that yearning for life, that touching my lips to Paris's lips would launch the ships, would cause such burning, death, loss, strife? How was I to know How was I to know |
|
That what I lost when I left Greece would cost such a price, would brand me a whore, would cause such a war? How was I to know? How was I to know How was I to know How was I to know? |
