DOOBIE BROTHERS - I Cheat The Hangman lyrics

rate me

Patrick simmons<br><br>The days grow short, the nights are gone<br>Since you were here, I can't go on<br>I cried for you, to no avail<br>Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail<br>But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before<br>The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour<br>Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away<br>I leave a kiss behind<br><br>The rain that fell upon my stone<br>Like tears you cry I shared alone<br>I walk the night, I cannot sleep<br>The love you spend you cannot reap<br><br>The glow of love will then shine<br>Lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returning home<br>Only lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returning home
