My fingerprints over the room I left in early light Passed a cop out on his route And hid away my eyes Does he know I left my love Alone in that cold room Her heart is still with poison now No more to be untrue Passing through the city square Towards the edge of town I saw the gallows with my eyes A tower from the ground Will they see I left my love The shadows lifting now And send me swinging through the night Into the gates of hell A pleasant life I had with her At least I did believe Until I spied their shadows Dance the walls so endlessly Happier she was with him It stoked my jealous mind But not a word I said to her Not one that I could find Oh erase my poor pathetic soul I've nothing more to say They found me hiding in the grove I tried not to escape Now on the gallows where I stand Upon the final door No more to live without my love I'm gone forevermore
