Final Hours

Sometimes I feel happiness,

Sitting in the shade,

I wait for morning to come,

Wash life's pain away,

Sometimes I feel cold and empty,

Just wanting to be loved,

Feeling odd and shamed,

Just wanting to be whole again,

Waiting for their smiles to stay,

My soul feels framed,

Gone far away,

My heart has left me,

She makes me feel warmth again,

I've never felt this way,

I love her now and I'll love her then,

She has given me my most heavenly days,

In my dreams she stays,

Sometimes I want to cry and die, 

She asks me why,

She says I have to try,

She says she cares about me too much to let me end it all,

She makes my biggest troubles seem so small,

Always she makes me laugh and smile,

She knows not what they think of me,

The jury's verdict is final,

But I still haven't had my trial,

My fate relies on their prejudice style,

Approach with the noose in hand,

Before me flashes a life so grand,

I can't stand, 

I'm a weak man, 

Yes, I know I am,

Here comes my last song from the band,

Look at it this way; I'll never have another sad melody to withstand,

Don't follow me,

You have so much left to see,

So much left to say,

No more pain,

Don't come this way,

The cost is too much to say,

These April showers will bring you May flowers,

But please stay with me and I'll build you the tallest tower,

The love you have given me,

It has real powers,

For now though, this life can still be ours,

Love me in my final hours,
