It seems so strange to me
That you are frightened of me
Of all the things I've done
I've been no cause of alarm
When you are with me
I lay not a hand near you
Frightened of breaking unwritten codes
Frightened of losing you
So when I try to talk to you
And I see you run away
It does not help my conscience
It only makes me afraid
If I were to ever harm you
I would first harm myself
Make myself a cripple
So that nothing would harm your health
If my love were truly hate
Wouldn't you have told me to leave you alone
Wouldn't you have seen it before now
Wouldn't you have let the policemen know
And I would be cast in front of a jury
A jury of your peers
I would be hung like a criminal
My face covered with my tears
And only when it rains
Can I see your wonderous face
In the puddles that surround me
In this dark and gloomy place
I have never meant to hurt you
I will not purposely harm you now
Nor ever in the future
That is my solemn vow
And if my love evaporates
Like the sun sets each day
Like the sun it will come again
Like the dawn of a new day
Through my pain and sacrifice
I have learned only one thing
When there is something that you love
Never let it get away
To many times I have forgotten
To many times I paid the price
I have wound up here lonely
In a prison full of mice
Am I still guilty of my crime
Today is my judgement day
The world waits for your answer
While I await my fate
The sweat pouring out of my body
Soaking the prison clothes I wear
All can see I am afraid
No one can see my tears
They set me on the platform
And put the noose around my neck
Only you could save me
Is it possible that you forget
I hear the judges order
"Let the hanging now commence"
So I wait for the trap-door
And fall to my death
Yet I die very slowly
My neck did not snap
And way back in the crowd
I see my favorite hat
I am puzzled as it gets closer
And more when I see that it is you
Bringing the dead man his hat back
To crown the dying fool
But I think I see a tear drop
Falling from your eye
And as my breath gets slower
I forgive you as I die
