The Clock In The Tower - Kathy Durkin
The clock in the tower is now striking one
Who shall I turn to to whom shall I run
It says in the Good Book an eye for an eye
A life I have taken tomorrow I die
Build my gallows high dig my grave down deep
Perhaps when it's over I'll be able to sleep
The clock in the tower is now striking three
I hope there is someone out there praying for me
I sit in the jailhouse waiting the dark
A rope will be waiting a life will be gone
Build my gallows high dig my grave down deep
Perhaps when it's over I'll be able to sleep
The clock in the tower is now striking five
In just a few moments the guards will arrive
This sad world I'm leaving and 'cause I depart
The clock in the tower will stop with my heart
Build my gallows high dig my grave down deep
Perhaps when it's over I'll be able to sleep
Perhaps when it's over I'll be able to sleep
