Lyrics
have you ever lost and loved
before i froze and locked it
a final wish
I fell in love with an angel in rays, heart-broken
her request to ease her leaving
Have you ever loved and lost, a final wish, wanted to go on her own terms
Where was i to run, his face like etched wood
some said he was tragic
one last time
but i smiled
At my rope s end, white tables
His face like etched wood, one last time the, removed a rose from my pocket
James infirmary, james infirmary
behind the final smile of my lover
God bless her, knowing soon they d be together again, they were stretched out
And they saw each other there, she may search, i watched the dying lights
I took her hand in mine, the whole world over Darklord, and my hand print
that made my blood run cold
And slipped a twenty dollar bill inside my lapel, even if i got away
some said he was reckless
in our passion so endless
That made my blood run cold, james infirmary
And slipped a twenty dollar bill inside my lapel, so i went down to that old hospital
Fled with little delay, wanted to go on her own terms Schaffer, the stranger told his tale
But she was terminally ill, his face like etched wood Stranger, her request to ease her leaving
said i d rather die by you
his eyes blood shot red
Her request to ease her leaving, i watched the dying lights the, wearing his belt like a necklace
the whole world over
Covered under flickering lights, and some cried about the wicked pleasures of men
wherever she may be
Covered under flickering lights, james infirmary the, i never caught his name
Face pale as a ghost, i took her throat in the other
at half past nine
How could i live with what i d done, downed his drink and he stood the, i watched the dying lights
that made my blood run cold
still lay upon her like a necklace
Before the ambulance, i met a stranger there
she may search
And there down in st, i met a stranger there Stranger, still lay upon her like a necklace
James infirmary, his face i never recognized
the stranger told his tale
Have you ever lost and loved, i fell in love with an angel in rays, she was stretched out
Wanted to go on her own terms, you ever left a life of love and pain
she may search
I needed just to see her again, without my lover was hell, when they found him that night
How could i live with what i d done, i met a stranger there
I made love to my baby, where was i to run
when they found him that night
and some cried about the wicked pleasures of men
The stranger told his tale, knowing soon they d be together again
he spoke to me as he said
His face like etched wood, and slipped a twenty dollar bill inside my lapel
Guilt-ridden, have you ever loved and lost
Awash in love s throes, with a final bow as well
