Eternal Loser lyrics
by Leslie Fish
I loved a girl named Ruth once
But lost her on my way
I saw her shadow walking on
A shore leave world today
And now it's time for going
I leave this world behind
I've even lost her shadow
Save the one left on my mind
I loved dark Miramanee
On a world called Paradise
And dreamed away a season there
My years drowned in her eyes
All duty was forgotten
All thought of death denied
I held her in my arms all night
And in my arms she died
I loved sweet bright-eyed Edith
Outside time's written line
She told me all her secrets and
I never told her mine
My world's survival waiting
Past all I could devise
I kept a friend from saving her
She fell before my eyes
There was a maid named Rayna once
Immortal and unknown
I battled with Methuselah
To have her love alone
Her battle was the harder
Too fierce, too bittersweet
It tore her untried heart in two
She crumbled at my feet
I love them and I lose them
And too many times they die
I come home broken-hearted
And back to my stars I fly
My steel and stardrive lady
I keep no love but you
And when this mission's over
I suppose you'll leave me too
I guess you'll leave me too
