Music box

Notes flood out of the music box It calls out to my soul Behind the beautiful lyrics Lay a story left untold A tragedy of forbidden love Their spirits rest together Trapped in the little music box There they will stay forever Every time the music spills They tell me of their lives Two souls tied together A woman scorned, a bloody knife A love triangle ended in death Of the object of his heart To end his life is the only way That they will never part The little box he gave to her A token of his affection Inside he locked their souls away For their eternal protection Now, when the notes start to play It beats a song for the lovers only She knows he's there when he hears the tune Her heart will never be lonely
