The Lonely Forest - Hangman lyrics

rate me

(Concept: In which our hero's love interest loses her son.)

Morning light saves from darkness.

Her son lay dead before her.

She lifts his body, cradles softly,

Cursing God, the Father.

Morning light saves from darkness.

Her son lay dead before her.

She lifts his body, cradles softly,

Cursing God, the Father.

Tried to live life justly

And now you have repaid me.

You've taken my son from the world

Up into your arms?

Now I'm sure I won't believe in

All the promises that you sing

And damned if I don't feel this love

And all the hope you say you'll bring.

Now I'm sure I won't believe in

All the promises that you sing

And damned if I don't feel this love

And all the hope you say you'll bring.

Tried to live life justly

And now you have repaid me.

You've taken my son from the world

Up into your arms?

Left me hanging.

Left me hanging.

Time and time again.

Oh you've left me hanging.

Left me hanging.

From the noose we've tied my friend.

Take care of him Lord.

Tried to live life justly

And now you have repaid me.

You've taken my son from the world

Up into your arms?

Take care of him! Have mercy!

Tried to live life justly

And now you have repaid me.

You've taken my son from the world

Up into your arms?

Left me hanging.

Left me hanging.

Time and time again.

Oh you've left me hanging.

Left me hanging.

From the noose we've tied my friend.

Take care of him Lord.
