I dropped my eyes on a body left to freeze
I saw the watchman fall to his hands and knees
My silhouette on a cold and hazy night
Did he have to die
I'm unwilling to explain so I run in the cold cold rain

Couldn't bring myself to write a note
I didn't know if I should cry for home
And I had no damn hand to hold
But did I just let a man die alone

He stared at me well he looked death in the eye
His time was up he had met the end of my knife
Hands cross my chest then I looked up to the sky
I had to ask myself why
Why I'm unwilling to explain so I run in thе cold cold rain

Couldn't bring myself to write a note
I didn't know if I should cry for homе
And I had no damn hand to hold
But did I just let a man die alone

I didn't mean to do it I didn't know that this would be the end
He didn't know that he'd danced his last dance
I didn't mean to do it I didn't realise that this was how it went
I didn't know that now his blood was on my hands
Then he looked me in the face
Then he went to a better place

Couldn't bring myself to write a note
I didn't know if I should cry for home
And I had no damn hand to hold
But did I just kill a man and let him die alone
