Chorus:
  F             Dm                    A#
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I
Am
love,
        F           Gm        C
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night,
         F          Dm         A#          Am
And her hair, in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
    F           Gm          A# C        F
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.

        F            Dm          A#              Am
She is soft, she is warm, but my heart remains heavy
        F            Gm            C
And I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall,
        F            Dm             A#
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be
 Am
leaving,
       F            Gm          A#        F
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.

Oh, what have I done? Why have I done it?
I've committed a crime, broken the law
For twenty-five dollars and pieces of silver
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store

Chorus:
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion
A scene badly written in which I must play
Yet, I know as I gaze at my young love beside me
The morning is just a few hours away
