I Cheat The Hangman lyrics
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.
Du du du du du du_____ du du,
du du du___ du du du___
du du du___ du du du___ .
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.
Du du du du du du_____ du du,
du du du___ du du du___
du du du___ du du du___ .
Only lighted windows stare
at the lonely stranger there returning home.
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.
Du du du du du du_____ du du,
du du du___ du du du___
du du du___ du du du___ .
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.
Du du du du du du_____ du du,
du du du___ du du du___
du du du___ du du du___ .
Only lighted windows stare
at the lonely stranger there returning home.
