You saw the wise man Salomon you know what he became
The man saw Life and death so clear
He dammed and blamed the hour of birth
and knew that all around was vain

How great and wise was Salomon
And look it wasn’t nighttime yet
The consequence was evident
The wisdom brought it to a very end
Oh, envy those who do not know

And now you see Mac Heath and me
God knows how this will end
So brave and strong was our love
How could this happen in tis world
Where you can’t trust your closest friend

See how they tear us two apart
And look it isn’t night time yet
The consequence is evident
The passion brought it to a very end
Oh, envy those who do not love
