I Cheat The Hangman (Album Version) - The Doobie Brothers
The days grow short the nights are gone
Since you were here I can't go on
I cried for you to no avail
Now my life runs cold
When the night winds wail
But I cheat the hangman
cheated him many times before
The bell that tolls the hour has
turned sweet lips to sour
Yes I cheat the hangman and
Even when life has flown away
I leave a kiss behind
The rain that fell upon my stone
Like tears you cry I shared alone
I walk the night I cannot sleep
The love you spend you cannot reap
But I cheat the hangman cheated
him many times before
The bell that tolls the hour has
Turned sweet lips to sour
Yes I cheat the hangman and even
when life has flown away
I leave a kiss behind
The glow of love will then shine
Lighted windows stare at the lonely
Stranger there returning home
Only lighted windows stare at the lonely
Stranger there returning home
I leave a kiss behind
The glow of love will then shine
Lighted windows stare at the lonely
Stranger there returning home
Only lighted windows stare at the lonely
Stranger there returning home
