I Cheat the Hangman (Album Version)

[00:00.01] The days grow short, the nights are gone
[00:34.37] Since you were here, I can't go on
[00:39.42] I cried for you, to no avail
[00:44.43] Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail
[00:49.83] But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
[00:55.28] The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
[00:59.75] Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
[01:05.19] I leave a kiss behind
[01:10.82]
[01:19.84] The rain that fell upon my stone
[01:24.59] Like tears you cry I shared alone
[01:29.77] I walk the night, I cannot sleep
[01:34.78] The love you spend you cannot reap
[01:40.08] But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
[01:45.30] The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
[01:50.03] Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
[01:55.27] I leave a kiss behind
[02:01.06] The glow of love will shine
[02:05.26] Lighted windows stare
[02:07.91] At the stranger there returning home
[02:13.15]
[02:15.45] Only lighted windows stare
[02:17.92] At the lonely stranger there returning home
[03:32.10]
[03:35.77] I leave a kiss behind
[03:41.31] The glow of love will shine
[03:45.65] Lighted windows stare
[03:48.28] At the stranger there returning home
[03:53.46]
[03:55.73] Only lighted windows stare
[03:58.39] At the lonely stranger there returning home
[04:49.25]
