Winter has come |
|
To seal my fate |
|
Just a year ago I took that final step |
|
Took a gun and cut my sweet young lover down |
|
The newspaper said that the bad and the beautiful |
|
Carry the burden of love |
|
Now I simply refuse to cry |
|
With a secret I'll take to my grave |
|
For I have but an hour to go |
|
Now the hangman approaches death row |
|
Oh Billy love your child has grown |
|
I only hope that he won't be his mother's son |
|
With a vein of madness poisoning his soul |
|
Regrets I have none but the bad and the beautiful |
|
Carry the burden of love |
|
Now I simply refuse to cry... |
|
Goodbye to the world I love |
|
You have done me no good, you know |
|
My lullaby is a bell that tolls |
|
As the hangman approaches death row |
|
Now I simply refuse to cry... |
