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
