They tell me in their laughter,
You must marry an earl instead.
they never will share with
And that they placed you in a cell
behind the cold iron door
My love for you will never, never die
My fight, I will carry it through
It is written that where there's a will,
And someday the sky will be blue
That he guides every step
where love meets and I set you free.
near the cold, dreary ground
Each night he made his way
Before her dark wedding day
At last a faint weary cry he heard
His fight for love it was o 'er
Thank God I've reached you
I've struck the cold iron door
The big gates swung far aside
Imprisoned there like some lonely bird
Although they took you away
Thank God my love for you
at last has entered the cold iron door.
