Gingerbread Heart

He met her at the funfair
 With her sad eyes and her black hair
 She was standing alone in the crowd
 She stood silent in a clearing
 While the children were cheering
 In the big wheel and the merry go round
 He took her by her pale hands
 To guide her to the sweets stand
 He felt, that it might be worthwhile
 And as she saw all that he had offered
 She forgot all she had suffered
 And took both of his hearts with a smile
 And the wise-woman's crystal ball blurred
 As the choir of the candyfloss fairies concurred
 Gingerbread heart
 Gingerbread heart
 You've been enchanted
 Right from the start
 Gingerbread heart
 Oh sweet Gingerbread heart
 Must fall and fall and break apart
 They came closer and closer
 Near the large roller coaster
 The chairoplane's ready for take-off
 And while the chariots were racing
 They're endearingly embracing
 Then they kissed, and - of course - fell in love
 So blinded by passion
 And wracked with obsession
 He hung the baked heart round her neck
 But the fledgling pretty pair
 Was completely unaware
 That the gingerbread heart had a crack
 And the wise-woman silently moaned
 And the choir of the candyfloss fairies intoned
 Gingerbread heart is accursed
 A merciless bane at its worst
 If gingerbread heart's got a crack
 Gingerbread's heart gonna
 Batter you
 Shatter you
 Kill you!
 And the wise woman sorrowed and sighed
 And the candyfloss fairies, (they) bitterly cried
