"Come, sail away", he said to her,  
the foreigner, as cold as ice.  
"Don't stop", she said, "Cause I feel love,  
the Styx will lead to paradise.  
Don't leave me this way, in the summer,  
to carry on your wayward son."  
"But it's so easy", he said, coldly,  
"a rich girl, you can be the one."  
A barracuda, was he really?  
He gave a little bit, and left.  
The hall, as empty as her heart.  
She's his wild oats, and now, bereft.
