What is this love I hear about?
A midnight tryst, a skeptic's doubt?
A look that burns with sweet desire
Mid summer fades to flames of fire
One moment that doth stole away
I know not nought another day
That was as sweet as was back then
I've found not one in the world of man
I've seen the stars all burning bright
In a day that was a cloudy night
I've seen men fly to clouds above
To bathe within their heavenly love
I've held a beast within my hand
Then set it free upon the land
I've seen this world from every view
Though never have I seen another you
And now I've felt this love I've heard
To break a heart, a mockingbird
And I have felt this pain it's true
I did love once, then I lost you
I felt your hand upon my cheek
I took yours from the land of weak
And though for years I did deny
We love but once, and then we die.

Okay. Go ahead. Call me retarded. But wtf does "nought" mean? It sounds like it doesn't fit here, or maybe I'm just lost cause I have shit for vocab! (which, you already knew).
Nice blunt ending too.
You almost sound like me there. 
That's a scary thought.
