I Cheat The Hangman Lyrics - Stampede - The Doobie Brothers

The days grow short, the nights are gone 

Since you were here, I can't go on 

I cried for you, to no avail 

Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail 

But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before 

The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour 

Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away 

I leave a kiss behind 

The rain that fell upon my stone 

Like tears you cry I shared alone 

I walk the night, I cannot sleep 

The love you spend you cannot reap

But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before 

The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour 

Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away 

I leave a kiss behind 

The glow of love will shine 

Lighted windows stare 

At the stranger there returning home 

Only lighted windows stare 

At the lonely stranger there returning home

I leave a kiss behind 

The glow of love will shine 

Lighted windows stare 

At the stranger there returning home 

Only lighted windows stare 

At the lonely stranger there returning home
