Cooper Temple Clause - Murder Song lyrics

As he sits on the moor With his new found friend Who had shown him the way To bow out at the end With a dignity only A murder can bring With sweet violation That versatile thing Please believe me when I say This is how it has to end This is easy on us all Well easier than other ways Sleep is all I ask of you Sleep and not to wake again See this through and leave my friend Tears will come and I will end While I hope you all miss me And weep at my grave I imagine you'll pray some And give hope to the brave To the ones who have loved me And cared for me so And who die when I tell them I just had to go Please believe me when I say This is how it has to end This is easy on us all Well easier than other ways Sleep is all I ask of you Sleep and not to wake again See this through and leave my friend Tears will come and I will end
