Lyrics

When the angel of sorrow steps up to my bedside And pulls that ribbon of darkness slowly across my eyes Give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye As that last clap of thunder grows faint and starts to die And those six black stallions come silent in the night Give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye Dear Lord above, I know you hear me up there I know it's late in life for my very first prayer I ain't here to ask for mercy for my tormented soul Heaven or hell, Lord, I'm set to go Just give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye I'll kneel down, Lord, but I won't hang my head in shame Right and wrong in St. Peter's book my score's about the same I ain't here to ask for penance, won't change my ways I'll take my chances come Judgement Day Just give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye Once I reach that misty river and time's no longer on my side I step one foot on board and the old man is set to ride Give me one last breath, one last breath to tell my baby goodbye
