She had an onyx necklace, she wore it every day. 
Yet that simple necklace wore her feelings away.
Oh that gleaming necklace, on her neck it layed.
With that gleaming necklace, her happiness decayed.

Over it, she had no authority.
No matter what it could not be dropped.
She tried and she tried, but then she stopped. 

She had been held down.
Now she wears it like a gown. 

She had an onyx necklace, she overcame its weight. 
Her necklace now has shriveled, she can set her life straight.
