I stole a glance at my reflection<br />
Though these days I tend to hurry by<br />
How pale the rose of my complexion<br />
How strange the knowing look that's in my eye<br />
<br />
But when the springtime was ablaze<br />
You took my hand, you held my gaze<br />
<br />
There is no wonder there, I learned my lesson well<br />
No need to wonder where that girl has gone<br />
<br />
There is a secret no one knows<br />
I set my face, I changed my clothes<br />
<br />
I dreamed I stood as you were passing<br />
Just as the horse-drawn carriage sped away<br />
Of petticoats in puddles dragging<br />
And my high-button boots were splashed with clay<br />
<br />
But when the summer was in flame<br />
You broke your word, denied my name<br />
<br />
There is no wonder there, I learned my lesson well<br />
No need to wonder where that girl has gone<br />
<br />
But as the winter drags along<br />
It blurs your sense of right and wrong<br />
<br />
There is no wonder there, I learned my lesson well<br />
No need to wonder where that girl has gone
