Last Breath

ebony eyes met me with a stare
we were puttin' someone to rest
in this graveyard, a very dear friend
and ebony eyes placed a bet he was
not comin' back


she saw my insane glance knew
I was the best she could get better
than she had had

I knew her from way back
when we were all friends
most of us with a future ahead
but she saw to it we all met our death

except me, I was too insane to catch
she now was loaded with dice
on friendship she put a high price
she finally recognised me then
kisses an' tears next

she almost squeezed me to death
didn't mind I'd killed an' knifed
to her that was part of life

invited me to stay a day or two she
was someone you didn't say no to

it's been a long time since
and life has not been dull
my ebony eyes she's a handfull

I've got no regrets
even if it's gonna take my last breath
