THE GODS WERE ANGRY WITH ME
("Roma"-Watt Watkins)
Recorded February 7, 1957


The gods were angry with me for loving you
The gods were angry with me because they knew
I stood at heaven's portal and that was too high
For any mortal, such as I

So they took down the sun, the skies were gray
Then the howling winds took you away
And there was nothing I could do because I knew
The gods were angry with me for loving you

Spoken:
Once upon a time when our love was new
And I was happy with the love that I had found
Then the gods of the sun and the moon and the stars
Looked down and saw me there with you
And they sent my dreamworld crashing to the ground

The gods were angry with me for loving you
The gods were angry with me because they knew
I stood at heaven's portal and that was too high
For any mortal, such as I

And so they took down the sun, the skies were gray
And then the howling winds took you away
And there was nothing I could do because I knew
The gods were angry with me for loving you

And so they took down the sun, the skies were gray
And then the howling winds took you away

And there was nothing I could do for I could see
It was because the gods were angry with me
