about
words and music by Richie Reinholdt
lyrics
The walls get closer every morning
Closing in ‘til I lay me down to sleep
The stones collect the breath of angels
Steel bars my soul to keep
Everytime we’d come to town
She was always hanging around
At first it was a wink and a smile
But that memory stayed with me for a while
They told me long ago
Time passes so slow
And although love needs room to grow
When lovers leave you’ll be the last to know
Even though we courted off and on
I could never seem to hold her for long
But my need for her was to dear
To let another man come near
So I followed her footprints from town
Leading through the snow on the ground
I heard a moan in the barn
Her flesh was melting in his arms
A deep winters cold had chilled the land
But not as cold as the blade in my hand
Steam rose from the blood in her chest
As I yanked my knife from her breast
Now from my cell window I can see
The short walk to my eternity
A new scaffold for me to climb aboard
And a hangman’s noose for my reward
Closing in ‘til I lay me down to sleep
The stones collect the breath of angels
Steel bars my soul to keep
Everytime we’d come to town
She was always hanging around
At first it was a wink and a smile
But that memory stayed with me for a while
They told me long ago
Time passes so slow
And although love needs room to grow
When lovers leave you’ll be the last to know
Even though we courted off and on
I could never seem to hold her for long
But my need for her was to dear
To let another man come near
So I followed her footprints from town
Leading through the snow on the ground
I heard a moan in the barn
Her flesh was melting in his arms
A deep winters cold had chilled the land
But not as cold as the blade in my hand
Steam rose from the blood in her chest
As I yanked my knife from her breast
Now from my cell window I can see
The short walk to my eternity
A new scaffold for me to climb aboard
And a hangman’s noose for my reward
