Long For Death

I want to die
To hang from a tree
I want to die
Lord Death is calling me.

I don't want to live
This body has drawn it's last breath
I don't want to live
For there is nothing left.

All hope is gone
Lost in unromantic bliss
All hope is gone
I've never felt pain like this

My soul has perished
Gone in heartbreaking love
My soul has perished
I shall fly forever like the lonesome dove.
