She stood on the hill
Near the land that I
She wore a red dress

Thought I couldn't care less
She's as beautiful now
As on the very first day that we met
I was dead and alone
And I held what I owned
Just a bottle of sin
That I've tried to disowned
Since the day I was born
The devil has made me his home
She wasn't the same
When she called out my name
Like a raven who is lost
Or a child in pain

She's haunted and drained
And I am the reason to blame
While I poured my last glass
As I've done in the past
And I'd do it again
If you give me the chance
If you give me a light
I would give you my last breath
And she said
Oh the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
And tho I'm praying for this evening to end
Our love will carry on
I looked in her eyes
The most beautiful eyes
I was sick in my thoughts
And I wanted to die
And I've prayed for the end
Oh lord, how I prayed for the end
She reached for my hand and she kissed all its scars
Now the roses are dead and she fell in my arms
As we kissed on our lips
I fell back in the abyss
And she said
Oh, the dead have come and gone
Our love will carry on
And tho I'm praying for this evening to end
Oh, our love will carry on
