Raided (a Rewrite of Ruby Tuesday)

      We walked thru red fields of leavened gold: by the time we kissed, our
      hearts were cold. We walked through red fields of leavened skein: by the
      time we kissed, our hearts were stained
  So goodbye now, braided baby, I am
      still in love with you: you & me were meant, my baby; ain't it true that
      love breaks thru.
  We walked through the rills & hills of light: by the
      time we kissed, our hearts weren't right: we walked meadows, moons &
      garden bowers: by the time we kissed, our hearts weren't ours.
  So goodbye now, braided baby, I am still in love with you:
    you & me were meant, my
      baby; ain't it true that love breaks thru.
      Time cannot accord what passion
      maims: in the scent of thunder, time defames: ain't that just the cost,
      blue love is merely loss, & when it comes to praying, loving rains: ain't
      that ashame?
    So goodbye now, braided baby, I am still in love with you:
      you & me were meant, my baby; ain't it true that love breaks thru.
    Museday Murmur, bluesday kiss of sun; in love's scarlet number, truth succumbs:
      love is always altared, its lust a baptised skein: museday murmur, bluesday
      murder: the love we had was vain.
    So goodbye now, braided baby, I am still
      in love with you: you & me were meant, my lady; ain't it true that love
      breaks thru: you & me were meant, my lady; ain't it true that love breaks
      thru: in leavened fields, true love's our enemy; as time denies, all light
      disproves...
