Title Unknown I could see the moon hung high in the sky
And the mocking grin on his face.
I know he was looking straight at me,
Perched high in my lonely place.
His voice floated down through the crisp night air
And I thought I heard him say
"It's to bad my boy, It's an aweful shame
That you have to go this way."
This chilled my heart and I shuddered with fear
For I knew he was right as right could be.
It was then that my skin began to crawl
And I thought, "What I'd give to be free!"
Your face came back to me then
Like a flash I remembered the touch of your lips.
I remembered the beautiful color of your hair,
Your eyes and the touch of your finger-tips.
Then I cursed myself and tore my hair for I knew
I'd been wrong from the start.
I'd thrown away every chance I'd had
And finally broken your heart.
My grief was of that special kind known only to men
When they reached the end of a lonesome road
And see what could have been.
I cried as I thought of the people outside
Who were happy, and honest, and free
And I knew that not even the lowest one
Would want to trade places with me.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead now
And my scalp felt tight and drawn.
What could I do to escape my fate,
The electric chair at dawn?
I seized the bars, and shrieked and waited
Like a soul who is lost in hell.
But the only voice that answered me
Was the mid-night toll of a bell.
