lyrics

"I can see the moon is turning and I know it won't be long before you'd better duck and run for cover honey. No it won't be long before you'd best get out of here. Turn around and follow the road down and trust that you'll see me tomorrow like you always have and you and I? We'll be okay. I promise you'll see me tomorrow dear. Honey I'm so sorry I know that it won't be easy but it's one we can't avoid and I know I won't recognize your face. Your eyes are beautiful, but won't save you from what I am. But I guess that I've said it all before and you won't listen anyway. I love your face so just do this for me. I don't want to see you harmed and you won't, won't see the way I said I don't, don't want to be in front of you. You know this way is better, don't even argue. I don't, don't want to hurt your lovely face. Face this and turn and walk away. Way down, and I will see you when the morning, it comes in."

"I can see the moon is turning and I know it won't be long, but this time I'm not going anywhere and so you may as well sit down because we're both staying right here. We both know what happened last time and I can't go through it all again; not knowing if you made it. You can't do the guilt again and I know that I can't go through the fear. Not to mention that you killed someone and we both know it wasn't you but even so I can't imagine what the family's been through. And don't tell me it left you unscarred. When you didn't meet me the next morning and I found you passed out with a bullet wound... You're lucky I found you at all as I was searching, didn't know if you were harmed so

don't, don't tell me I should get away, way down because I'm gonna stay right here and there isn't a thing you can do and I won't, no I'm not gonna touch a gun, you'll recognize me or I'll run way down and I will see you when the morning it comes in. Oh, I can see it in your eyes, somewhere tell me you recognize my face. You know it's me just give me a sign. I can't run. I don't know how to use a gun. This isn't you or anyone. I'm sorry but the morning ain't gonna come..."

"Here take this gun and use it if I lose control and come after you. Don't hesitate a second, promise me you'll do what you have to do... I mean it, I'm losing control and I can't hold on. Well it's almost over... Darling I mean it, get out of here. Just go on and you'll find someone..."

"Say it was silver and you didn't risk it."

"I never thought it would have to end like this."

"Honey I'm so sorry I didn't mean for everything to end today. I didn't think it'd go down this way. Tell me that you're gonna be okay... I'm not gonna let you go by yourself because this world without you is Hell and I won't be here all on my own. I can't do this all on my own..."

"Say you love me. Tell me something beautiful I can take when I cross over..."

"I can hear the howling in the distance and someway I think this might almost be better than what we've been going through month after month and then year after year. No more nights of staying up alone and worried that something might happen and I might not see you when the morning comes and this way at least there won't be anymore fear. Makes me wonder what they'll say when we are found. We really should've picked a plot of ground but I guess that it's over and it's done with now. I'm sorry, I really shouldn't make light of everything, it's just I never saw this happening. No, none of this at all. I wonder if it's true and if we'll go away like in a fairy tale, far away..."

"Don't you tell me that I'd better stay without you here 'cause there's no way. You're gonna make this harder, don't even argue. I'm fine. I'm scared but I've made up my mind. Just realizing that it's time... I guess that this is where I'll see you on the other..."

"Don't take your life for me. I mean it, honey, it's almost over... Darling I'm sorry it ended this way. I love you and I always will..."
