A pistol shot at 5 o'clock
|
The bells of heaven ring
|
"Tell me what you done it for"
|
"No I won't tell you a thing
|
|
"Yesterday I begged you
|
before I hit the ground -
|
all I leave behind me
|
is only what I found
|
|
"If you can abide it
|
let the hurdy-gurdy play -
|
Stranger ones have come by here
|
before they flew away
|
|
"I will not condemn you
|
nor yet would I deny"
|
"I would ask the same of you
|
but failing will not die
|
|
"Take up your china doll
|
it's only fractured -
|
and just a little nervous
|
from the fall"
|
