I can hear the soft breathing , Of the girl that I love,
As she lies here beside me , Asleep with the night,
And her hair, in a fine mist, Floats on my pillow,
Reflecting the glow, Of the winter moonlight.
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.
