Your Love's a Killer

Oh, child of mine where did you go You seem so dark and cold And I am still here all alone No first born left to hold Oh, tell me of that velvet fog The one that lifts you high But killed your laughter stone cold dead And gave you tears to cry Oh, tell me of that place you go When you leave us behind Tell us the thoughts you hold so close And slowly lose your mind Oh, mother dear, please understand And listen to my plea There's a lover like no other And she says,"Come to me" Oh, I resist from time to time For she has lost my trust But then she speaks and trust be damned As fly to her I must Ah, my boy, your love's a killer She alone is to blame She will put you in the graveyard And she doesn't know your name 2-16-20 Contest: Strand Select R Sponsor: Brian Strand
