I was sullen and full of dread Blackbirds circled above my head And the rain dripped into my bed From a hole in the foreign sky And I was then visited by a child Who entered my room and stood by my side And as she told me I was too unkind, she sighed, "I'm afraid there's no time to say goodbye" She left me then, she left me scared
And through a keyhole she disappeared And my eyes grew heavy with tears That burned until they closed The condemned can sing along Come on, I'll be singing all night long Oh, how I regret that I've done wrong Oh, how I regret that I've done wrong Oh, how I regret that I've done wrong That I have done wrong That I have done wrong
