Lyrics : Whispered To Myself

In the dirty streets of Laredo
I saw you standing there
With the moonlight shining on your cold black hair

With the darkness all around me
I had trouble finding words
So I whispered to myself and prayed you'd heard

Well you must have been an angel
Who'd fallen from the skies
'Cause you turned to me
And I saw heaven in your eyes

You were promised to another
Who'd wed your heart one day
So you woke one night
And softly slit that fate away

When I found you in the crisp dawn of morning
With blood stains on your clothes
With your hands as tools
It was me your heart had chose

And we went to seek your forgiveness
Where the red sand turns to clay
And we asked the lord
To wash your sins away
Then I lost your love forever
Where the river meets the land
When the swiftness swept your life out of my hands

And I swear that I could hear laughter
As the heavens shook and cracked
And I cursed the god who, in envy
Took you back

And my heart, it raged like the river
And my tears fell like the rain
And I found myself, alone in darkness
Once again
