In the darkness in which you dwell
I met a guy i loved so well
he stole my heart away from me
and now he's going to set it free
he sat a strange girl upon his knees
and told her things he didn't tell me
so i went home to cry on my bed
not a word to my mother i said
my daddy came home late that night
looking for left to right
up the stairs the door he broke
to see me hanging from a rope
he got his knife out and cut me down
and on the ground this note he found:
DIG A GRAVE, DIG IT DEEP,
AND PLACE A STATUE ON MY FEET,
AND ON THAT STATUE PLACE A DOVE,
TO SHOW THE WORLD I DIED FOR LOVE.
