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 model 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've found
Then the Gods and the sun and the moon
And the stars looked down and saw me there with you
And they sent my dream world crash into the ground.


(It was because the Gods were angry with me.)


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 model 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...
