Cooper Temple Clause - Murder Song lyrics

as he sits on the moor

with his new found friend

who had shown him the way

to bow out at the end

with a dignity only

a murder can bring

with sweet violation

that versatile thing

please believe me when i say

this is how it has to end

this is easy on us all

well easier than other ways

sleep is all i ask of you

sleep and not to wake again

see this through and leave my friend

tears will come and i will end

while i hope you all miss me

and weep at my grave

i imagine you'll pray some

and give hope to the brave

to the ones who have loved me

and cared for me

and who die when i tell them

i just had to go

please believe me when i say

this is how it has to end

this is easy on us all

well easier than other ways

sleep is all i ask of you

sleep and not to wake again

see this through and leave my friend

tears will come and i will end
