Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
 As she lies here beside me, asleep with the night
 And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
 Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight
 She is soft, she is warm, but my heart remains heavy
 And I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall
 For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving
 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 25 dollars and pieces of silver
 I held up and robbed a hard liquor store
 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
