I am a non performing songwriter. The lowest of the low.
Story behind the song
A song inspired by the story Oliver Twist. Where the Character Bill Sykes murdered Nancy and tried to escape.
Lyrics
Nancy
Words and Music by Wendy DuMond and Tom Franz
V1
The wind blows blue
At the death of the day
As she walks behind me
As I run away
As I run away
V2
A shadow from my dreams
What truth will she tell
Am I redeemed
Or do I burn in hell
Do I burn in hell
Chorus
In silence she follows
Her steps on my heels
Like a great wave she swallows
Like a worm she steals
My soul is burning
Like her hair in the ashes
My mind keeps turning
I remember in flashes
V3
In the murk and the gloom
Inside of my head
I cannot remember
The words that she said
The words that she said
V4
Did she pray for mercy
Did she raise her hand
Did she even cry out
In the end
In the end
Chorus
Bridge
The children can see her
And they know I?m cursed
They feel my evil
I?m one of the worst
Their eyes are just like hers
Staring glassy and cold
They won?t turn away
They won?t be consoled
V5
Comeback for the gallows
Her cold lips cry
The time is at hand
For bad men to die
For bad men to die
chorus
