Lyrics
I saw you walking by the bridge
On a cold and rainy day
I ran towards the riverbank
As the wind came across the bay
But then I saw him standing there
The one you were waiting for
A gleam in his eye and a sword by his side
I was no match for sure
I sat down behind the bridge's arch
And pondered what would be
A soldier's sword for a tinker's knife
Would not be the odds for me
I gazed at them as they swore their love
Their bodies entwined like one
And the rage it swelled up inside of me
The moment had to come
I revealed myself and I charged at him
The knife I brought it down
Man to man and hand to hand
We wrestled into the night
Just when I thought he was coming at me
I managed to strike him and soon
He fell to the ground with a knife in his heart
And the silence fell the room
She ran towards me with tears in her eyes
Her grief was plain to see
You killed my love you tinker boy
You will pay for this misery
He was to be my chosen one
You were just an affair to me
And the truth sank deep into my heart
And I fell down on my knees
They tied a noose around my neck
And pulled the blocks away
And as I fell towards my death
I heard my own voice say
I killed a man, I broke a heart
My own life I ended too soon
So beware of your anger, it's ready to strike
Hit you and pull you down
