Verse 1

 I can hear the soft breathing , Of the girl that I love,

As she lies here beside me , Asleep with the night,

 And her hair, in a fine mist, Floats on my pillow,

Reflecting the glow, Of the winter moonlight.

Verse 2

 She is soft, she is warm, But my heart remains heavy,

 And I watch as her breasts Gently rise, gently fall,

 For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,

And tonight will be All I have left to recall.

Verse 3

 Oh, what have I done, Why have I done it,

 I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.

 For twenty-five dollars And pieces of silver,

I held up and robbed A hard liquor store.

Verse 4

 My life seems unreal, My crime an illusion,

 A scene badly written In which I must play.

 Yet I know as I gaze At my young love beside me,

The morning is just a few hours away.
