It started when the night came in
A figure there so stick thin
He called to me
Said come see
what you have done to me
I stood there still
not daring to move
he put a bottle upon the table
the pills I saw
he was ill
my arms wide open
my eyes closed
he came close
my eyes now open
he fell now on the floor
as another man came through the door
they had come to take him away
I would never see him again
he would never see the light of day
for his eyes now closed
his heart never pounding
my one love is dead
in all his surroundings
