Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done?
Breaths bursting in white bursts in the frigid night's winter air. Long auburn locks flying in the wind tangled together in knots. Wild and untamed it flew free. A white face as pale as a ghost against the pitch dark of night swallowed by shadows. Lips quivering and panting with the suppression of tears and the need for air.
I've fallen in love with a man on the run
Knees pumping up and down in a blur stained green from meeting grass.
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please
Heart beat pounding through her ears, a song of loosing time.
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh don't take that sinner from me
A timer on life lived and life about to be lost
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do?
Trying to save what is already lost
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you
He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone
Running she did and running she lived
Oh I just wanna take him home
Oh I just wanna take him home
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between
A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed
The drums sounding the song of death. Each boom one moment closer to the end. Each a remembrance of every I love you and thrust of lust, never accepted.
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
He did what he had to do
Tears running down her face escaping from their cage. She cried for what was not his fault
Oh he did what he had to do
Give me the burden, give me the blame
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame
Give me the burden, give me the blame
Wishing she could take the responsibility to hang on the hangman's noose
How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take?
Running towards the crowd trampling and hollering together. Beating at their backs she ran so fast. A little too late a little too late not fast enough. Breaking through the crowd to the front where his body hung. Strong from tending to his lands and working from the sun up to sun down. The body that once held hers and covered from all those who dared attack. The body that cherished and made her feel safe against open space. Taking her sword she cut him down holding his body safe and warm. Breathing life into his form Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not
Screaming for him to come back pounding on his chest forcing his breath to come back to fill his heart with his love and cause his heart beat to beat in tune to her.
He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
She cried and swore.
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please
Looking at her father and begging him please. He turned his head away
Don't take that sinner from me
Everything stopped moving as she dropped her chin to her chest sobs filling the silence. Her hands moving. I love you whispered across his body as she took the sword in her grasp.
Oh don't take that sinner from me
Moving swiftly and fast she took her life and breathed her breaths of love to the only man she ever loved.
