INTRO : D Em D Em
VERSE 1:
D Bm G F#m
I can hear the soft breathing , Of the girl that I love,
D Em A7
As she lies here beside me , Asleep with the night,
D Bm G F#m
And her hair, in a fine mist, Floats on my pillow,
D Em G A7 D Em D
Reflecting the glow, Of the winter moonlight.
VERSE 2:
D Bm G F#m
She is soft, she is warm, But my heart remains heavy,
D , Em A7
And I watch as her breasts Gently rise, gently fall,
D Bm G F#m
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
D Em G A7 D Em D
And tonight will be All I have left to recall.
VERSE 3:
D Bm G F#m
Oh, what have I done, Why have I done it,
D Em A7
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.
D Bm G F#m
For twenty-five dollars And pieces of silver,
D Em G A7 D Em D
I held up and robbed A hard liquor store.
VERSE 4:
D Bm G F#m
My life seems unreal, My crime an illusion,
D Em A7
A scene badly written In which I must play.
D Bm G F#m
Yet I know as I gaze At my young love beside me,
D Em G A7 D Em D
The morning is just a few hours away.
