They're taking me down, my friend
|
And as they uskher me off to my end
|
Will I bid you adieu?
|
Or will I be seeing you soon?
|
If what they say around here is true
|
Then we'll meet again
|
Me and you
|
|
My time is at hand, my dove
|
They're gunna pass me to that house above
|
Is Heaven just for victims, dear?
|
Where only those in pain go?
|
Well it takes two to tango
|
We will meet again, my love
|
I know
|
|
If you're in Heaven then you'll forgive me, dear
|
Because that's what they do up there
|
If you're in Hell, then what can I say
|
You probably deserved in anyway
|
I guess I'm gunna find out any day
|
For we'll meet again
|
And there'll be Hell to pay
|
|
Your face comes to me from the depths, dear
|
Your silent mouth mouths, 'Yes", dear
|
Dark red and big with blood
|
They're gunna shut me down, my love
|
They're gunna launch me into the stars
|
Well, all things come to pass
|
Glory hallelujah
|
|
This prayer is for you, my love
|
Sent on the wings of a dove
|
An idiot prayer of empty words
|
Love, dear, is strictly for the birds
|
We each get what we deserve
|
My little snow white dove
|
Rest assured
|
