Just a Light
across my grave a black wind blows snow and ice blanket my bones won't you tell me I'm alive Annie won't you come and tell me a lie lay me down just like you did with your voice soft and singing sweeter than dew on the vine Annie won't you come and tell me a lie
Annie we were children once before the night time showed a moon red as blood spring time came upon your kiss winter made me old and took me to my death I grew more cruel than the wind that blew across the ice of lake Michigan in a fit of foolish rage I did curse your love for the queen of spades
I'm drinking wine one more glass or nine I'm goona drown it out forget all about stare down the sky tell my maker I can hear him laughing now
it's alright I'm just a light gone out
Annie won't you come to me I know too late you are a diamond kind of queen and I'm a cold ghost of myself your lover's song I know you sing to someone else don't you take your sorrow down town tonight to find yourself a lie a drunken man to treat you sweet when the morning comes you'll be back on the street
and if I see red goona shoot him dead and meet the devil down where I know I'm bound oh but I lie I would break and cry turn around and I'd go back into the night where I'll be somewhere someday see you around maybe neath the lilac tree if I don't find you down the line well you will still be mine
I know that's a lie
