On the other edge of the forest
Came a girl as sweet as can be
But by the time she'd be all mine
Her life belonged to me
Purple Mountain Majesty
Her life ends in tragedy
Purple Mountain Majesty
What else can you sing to me
She tried her best to make it
She tried her best to run
Her life had slipped away from her
Before the night was done
Purple Mountain Majesty
Her life was a travesty
Purple Mountain Majesty
What else can you sing to me
Set out on my way to his house
Where I'd confess all my sins
We he had heard what I'd done
He'd ask what I've become
Purple Mountain Majesty
His life was a tragedy
Purple Mountain Majesty
What else can you sing to me
