The jury found the verdict first degree.
They swore I planned her death to be.
I prayed they'd sentence me to die.
But they wanted me to live and I know why.
So I do lie
in prison for the wrongs I've done.
And I pray every night for death to come.
My life will be
a burden every day.
If I could die, my pain might go away.
With trembling hands, I killed my darling wife.
Because I loved her more than life.
My love for her will last a long, long time.
But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind.
So I do lie in prison for the wrongs I've done.
And I pray every night for death to come.
My life will be
a burden every day.
If I could die, my pain might go away.
If I could die,
my pain might go away.
