i saw my lover
it must have been a dream
i buried her last autumn
on the eve of halloween
why cant she let me be
why must she stick around
she cant be anywhere
but lying underground
i saw my mother
she stopped me on the road
"i see it in your eyes, son,
the devil's got your soul"
jesus forgive me
im sorry for what ive done
but if she'd done him again lord
she wouldn't be the only one
i'd've taken out everyone
i'd've shut you out
danced upon their bodies
and made the devil proud
it was her or this town lord
who should have i done in?
could've taken myself and
left my soul soaked with sin
and then who would've prayed for me?
and had some sympathy?
if i left my only darling
to deal with the grief?
i saw my lover
lying in her tomb
i left her last autumn
under the midnight moon
