As I was walking
homeward in the early morning light Leaving
far behind the prison where I'd spent
the night With no idea of what I'd done
or why they'd punished me But feeling
nonetheless relieved and grateful to
be free
My path led through a woodland far
behind a rusted gate I knew it was a
shortcut if I kept my walking straight But
then, like out of nowhere, this old
wizened man appeared Holding high his
one hand while the other stroked his
beard
"Beware the cursed Anna's stare" this
warning did he bring "No-one makes
it through this wood, coming out as
they went in!"
"But a change is what I'm looking
for" I told the sad old man And
bidding him a last farewell into the
wood I ran Soon I came to the river
where I stopped to bathe my feet And
that was when I smelled her perfume
delicate and sweet
I stood up and I turned around and
there in front of me stood a beautiful
woman who simply stared at me And
then I knew it was all true what the
old man had advised "You must be
Anna", I said, as I looked into
her eyes
When we came together in a passionate
embrace I felt my body weaken and
my heart begin to race And when at last
the kissing stopped I saw to my alarm This
woman now had changed into a young girl
in my arms
I heard her childish laughter as
she vanished through the trees I turned
back to the river, my reflection for
to see And there inside the water
I saw exactly as I feared To my horror
I'd turned into an old man with a beard
For seven long years I've waited
by this gate, wishing that I could die But
that can never happen if some other
young lad comes by I know I must warn
him to go some other way But hope
that, like most men of that age, he
won't believe what old men say
