Last Laugh on the Trinity River

Mar 15, 2006 09:55

I sit and watch the moon, fall beneath the towers.
I could see downtown, if it weren't for the fog.
I'm here alone, at this un-Godly hour,
'Cause I've nothing else to do, since you've been gone.

I'd hang the moon, if I had the power.
If I had the power, baby, then, I'd still have you.
If I still had you, this time I'd buy you flowers,
But I spent my flower money, on a new .22

Took my .22, down to the river.
The River Trinity, she never run so blue.
Blue is the color, of my feelings.
Feelings that I can't bare, to take anymore.

In a three-piece suit, I stepped into the water.
The water's colder now, than I recall.
I recall when you said to me, our love would last forever.
Forever's just a lie, darling, I thought you'd never tell.

Pistol in my hand, hammer cocked and ready.
I'm ready to end it all, there ain't no other way.
Way back inside of my mind, I can hear you laughing.
Your laughing used to bring me joy, but I'll laugh last today.
I'll laugh last today.

With a bang and a splash, I let the current take me.
Take me to the place that, I'm singing from today.
Today I wonder, if you ever truely loved me.
True love's what gave me life, and true love took my life away.
