The Late Pearl Attaway

Dear loving friend
 Sorry to inform
 I will miss our rendezvous
 I have been detained
 For I am lying dead
 On the tiles of Waterloo
 Halt the horses!
 Still the wheels
 I shall move no more today!
 Fondest regards
 Sincere apologies
 From the late Pearl Attaway!
 ♪
 Broken doll
 Open eyes
 Silent lips of blue
 Tangled hair
 Bed of blood
 On the tiles of Waterloo
 Halt the horses!
 Still the wheels!
 And await this cruel delay!
 I am undone
 A sudden blade has come
 For the late Pearl Attaway!
 Halt the horses!
 Still the wheels, and await a better day!
 Lo! I depart
 for a brighter destination
 Yours in hope, Pearl Attaway
