Sheās just around the bend ,
To fall from all she couldnāt mend
Gallows and despair is what she said.
Sir, will you break me free from a penny of pain and misery. Oh maāam I must confess I have neither a bill or gift for you.
But a cold-eyed brew, in our sad tale we shanāt let ourselves sink from what we know. As your problems are to me like phantom pains.
I saw a woman once like you,
in struggle with justice and will, confused with how her soul couldnāt lend her wants to spend
Oh ballad of melancholy.
Sip away the hurt of tomorrow in todayās bottle
give me a reason to hold on, before my time is gone.
Broken souls we are, trapped in the hue of despair.
Without a care, the jaundiced flame broke me.
And changed my view, what has the world come to
Sheās just around the bend ,
To fall from all she couldnāt mend
Gallows and despair is what she said.
