Doobie Brothers "I Cheat The Hangman" |
The days grow short, the nights are long Since you were here, I can't go on I cry for you, to no avail Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail But I cheat the hangman, I've cheated him many times before The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour, Yes I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away I leave a kiss behind The rain that fell upon my stone Like tears you cried, I shared alone I walk the night, I cannot sleep The love you spend, you cannot reap But I cheat the hangman, I've cheated him many times before The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour, Yes I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away I leave a kiss behind The glow of love will shine Lighted windows stare at the stranger there returing home Only lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returing home I leave a kiss behind The glow of love will shine Lighted windows stare at the stranger there returing home Only lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returing home Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
