I don’t remember much about that night
But I’m pretty sure it rained the day I died
I think it rained, I think it rained
I’m pretty sure it rained the day I died

You and I were always closest friends
Its women that make enemies of men
A pretty face, a pretty face
A pretty face would one day do me in

Her eyes were like the winter when she does
Hold secrets only winter knows.
Winter knows, winter knows
The winter’s seen the wolves in women’s clothes

She came to me in middle afternoon
We held each other close the whole night through
Love was blind. Love is blind
I never saw her let you in the room

Someone always wins
And then they write a book
I see my defense fingering a different crook

A gunshot was the only word you said
All of my defenses came out red
Love was red. Love is red.
She left with you. You left me lying dead.

I watched her as you put me in the dirt
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt
I went numb. I went numb
‘cause I’m not dead if what you did don’t hurt
