Beyond The Last Mile |
| I’m watching the clock tick the hours away |
| They say that I will hang at the dawn of the day |
| But why should I fear death when it’s life anew |
| For dying only takes me much closer to you |
| You left me in anger and walk by the sea |
| And when they found your body they blamed it on me |
| But you know they were wrong dear so wait for awhile |
| Soon we’ll be together beyond the last mile |
| Stars hide their face to make way for the sun |
| Death it’ll soon claim me and make us as one |
| While others are walking the streets with a smile |
| Then I will be walking beyond the last mile |
| The jury agreed I have taken your life |
| The sentence that they gave me it cut like a knife |
| But I’ll face my Maker today with a smile |
| I know that you’ll be waiting beyond the last mile |
| The chaplain is making his last plea to God |
| Soon the numbered steps to the scaffold I’ll trod |
| My footsteps won’t falter I’ll walk with a smile |
| I know that you’ll be waiting beyond the last mile |
