[Headline:] "Murder, young girl killed
|
Desperate shooting at Echoe`s hill
|
Dreadful ending, killer died
|
Evidently suicide"
|
|
A witness heard a horrifying sound
|
He ran to find a woman dead and
|
Lying on the ground
|
|
Standing by her was a man
|
Nervous, shaking, gun in hand
|
Witness says he tried to help
|
But he`d turned the weapon on himself
|
|
His body fell across that poor young girl
|
After shouting out in vain
|
The witness ran to call for assistance
|
A sad close to a broken love affair
|
|
Our deeds have traveled far
|
What we have been is what we are
|
|
She wanted love forever
|
But he had another plan
|
He fell into an evil way
|
She had to let him down
|
She said "I can`t love a wayward man"
|
|
She may have found a reason to forgive
|
If he had only tried to change
|
Was their fatal meeting prearranged?
|
|
Had a violent struggle taken place?
|
There was every sign that lead there
|
Witness found a switchblade on the ground
|
Was the victim unaware?
|
They continued to investigate
|
They found a note in the killer`s pocket
|
It could have been a suicide letter
|
Maybe he had lost her love
|
|
I feel there`s only one thing left to do
|
I'd sooner take my life away than live with losing you
|
|
Our deeds have traveled far
|
What we have been is what we are
|
|
All that we learn this time
|
(What we have been is what we are)
|
Is carried beyond this life
