Gods Were Angry With Me

(álbum: "Detroit City" And Other Hits - 1963)

The Gods were angry with me for loving you
The Gods were angry with me because they knew
I stood at heaven's portals but they were too high
For any mortal such as I.

So they took down the sun the skies were gray
Then the howling wind took you away
There was nothing I could do for I could see
It was because the Gods were angry with me.

Once upon a time when our love was young and new
I was so happy in the heaven that I have found
Then one day the Gods looked down and they saw me there holding you
That day they sent my heaven crashing to the ground.

Yes, they took down the sun the skies were gray
Then the howling wind took you away
There was nothing I could do for I could see
It was because the Gods were angry with me...
