Текст песни Under The Maple Tree

Yesterday was the day your path crossed mine.
They say love makes blind, but I saw you just fine,
And you saw me, and when you saw that I saw that you saw me,
You just went on by.
It was an odd reply,
Kind of shy,
But I knew it didn't mean goodbye.
'Cause, even though your lips were sealed, your body language indicated
That you wanted someone there by your side.
I could not tell if you'd felt the love at first sight,
But I felt a slight plight to confirm my sight right.
Just like a mighty white knight might have done.

Today is the day that I get to portray
This unusual scene which took place yesterday.
I was out jogging when I ran into this guy.
He said: “I'm sorry!”. Then I went on by.
I tried to ignore him, but he started to follow.
I accompanied her through the park!
All the tiresome running made us stop to rest.
I could not get away.
We began to undress!
He began to undress!

It was love,
Rape,
Under the maple tree
The best thing I've ever done.
He was forcing me
On the ground in a park
We made love in the dark
Oh, the agony

The smell of her hair and her beautiful skin
No escape here; this guy was too strong; he would win.
I became paralyzed by her shiny eyes
She set me free
Please set me free
Under the maple tree

Never ever in my life have I felt so abused.
There I lay naked - and a little bit confused
Never ever in my life did I think I would witness
A sexual assault while out jogging... for fitness

Please, baby, please tell me what I did wrong?
I brought you flowers and I used a condom.
All since that day you won't see me no more.
You don't return my calls, and now the police are at my door.

Life isn't easy when it's filled up to the brim with misunderstandings.
Life isn't easy when love is a stranger, a stranger is danger indeed!
Love isn't easy, no, it's pretty hard,
I liked your love better when we were apart.
But you're still in my heart.
So please tell me why you won't see me no more,
And why those policemen are outside my door,
Hammering, slamming and bunking and banging!
Somewhere there must have been a really big misunderstanding.

'Cause all we did was making
Love.
It was rape!
Under the maple tree.
Actually, when I think about it, it was an elm tree.
But what about the leaves on the ground?
Maple leaves aren't that round!
Usually.

I was despoiled in the soil, in the park by my house.
Were we ever a pair?
Send him to jail, I got stains on my blouse.
Was our love just a flare?
Make him burn in the chair.
It's unfair!
Let him dangle midair
If I gave you a scare,
In a rope or his hair.
I was never aware of it.
Jail him in for a year.
Please don't leave me in there,
Or for life, I don't care.

All that's left here is only this
Beautiful,
Terrible,
Glorious,
Unbearable,
Resplendent,
Despicable
Ravishing memory

Ravishing memory
I was ravished!
