Intro :
I c an hear the s oft breathing
Of the g irl that I love
As she lies here be side me
Asl eep with th e night
And her hair, i n a fine mist
Flo ats on my p illow
Ref lecting the glow
Of the wi nter mo onlight
She is soft, she is warm
But my heart remains heavy
And I watch as her breasts
Gently rise, gently fall
For I know with the first light of dawn
I'll be leaving
And tonight will be
All I have left to recall
Oh, what have I done
Why have I done it
I've committed a crime
I've broken the law
For twenty-five dollars
And pieces of silver
I held up and robbed
A hard liquor store
My life seems unreal
My crime an illusion
A scene badly written
In which I must play
Yet I know as I gaze
At my young love beside me
The morning is just a few hours away
