Four gray walls that surround me

A silhouette upon the floor

Paper roses around my window

An iron curtain for my door



I cast my mind back to remember

The day I saw you standing there

With another man beside you

You didn't seem to really care



So your room was dark and sheltered

With another man, not me

Couldn't stand the pain inside me

But I was just too blind to see



You never can forgive me

For the foolish thing I've done

I won't be here to hear you

Cause I'll be dead before the morning comes



You never can forgive me

For the foolish thing I've done

I won't be here to hear you

Cause I'll be dead before the morning comes



Walk between the narrow cell block

Down the hallway to the stair

Because I killed the man you loved so

Now I face the electric chair
