📋 Copy 🔗 Share

The days grow short, the nights are gone Since you were here, I can't go on I cried for you, to no avail Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail But I cheat the hangman, 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 cry I shared alone I walk the night, I cannot sleep The love you spend you cannot reap But I cheat the hangman, 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 returning home Only lighted windows stare At the lonely stranger there returning home I leave a kiss behind The glow of love will shine Lighted windows stare At the stranger there returning home Only lighted windows stare At the lonely stranger there returning home
