Aberdeen
The Moon is high
but the path is dark
and the Sun don't rise
in these parts
My gun is loaded
my bottle's dry
I got a deal to keep
when the fire dies
tonight, tonight
Sweet Belle-Marie
was just nineteen
when she took that job
in Aberdeen
where the work is bad
but the money's good
bet she wouldn't leave it
if she could
no way, no way
In this world
so full of sin
where the heroes die
and the villains win
they say "don't give up"
"Cause it's never too late"
but you can't hide from truth
you can't fight fate
no more, no more
You were just nineteen
I was Twenty two
you said you loved me
but you spoke too soon
I saw the old Moon die
in the new Moons arms
I heard the choir singing
in the steeple dawn
Hooray, hooray
I see the Devils face
when I close my eyes
we got a deal to keep
when the fire dies
my finger's crossed
don't ever tell
I haven't got
a soul to sell
no more
Only darkness
will set me free
from the dreams that never
were meant to be
my gun is loaded
my bottle's dry
before the sun comes up
I'll never cry again.
