The mills of the Gods grind slowly away
And there's no escape till reckoning day
You think you've gone free and then suddenly
The mills of the Gods grind slowly away.

Be happy and forget me my heart's cried out today
As you passed with another and looked the other way
You'll never change my darling go on and be untrue
But cheaters always suffer and I'm reminding you.

The mills of the Gods grind slowly away
And there's no escape till reckoning day
You think you've gone free and then suddenly
The mills of the Gods grind slowly away...
