Farewell Good Ángel

ROCHESTER Is this how you would leave me? In ruin and despair? My hope is quenched, my life is lost Laid waste beyond repair I was wrong when I deceived you But there was no other way Your character won't let you Live the lie mine must obey! And I don't mean to claim That honour has been served But why must I have eyes To see you're not there? Why must I take one more breath? Let lightening strike That's not the worst Now that you've shattered my soul I die accursed! So farewell, good angel Another day is done I wrapped my life around you And for a time, two fused as one And God should strike me down If you are truly gone But why must I have eyes To see you're not there? Why must I take one more breath? Let lightning strike That's not the worst I'd rather burn in Hell Damning my soul to dwell Lost in my pain Than to live here on earth Without my Jane!
