Sweet Agnis

I lay a dozen roses, 'pon my lover's grave
Head on home alone with nothin' left to save
Savorin' the scent of her favorite perfume
Drinking malt all night like 'til the night is through

When God calls on me I hear him not
I hear the ghoulish howls of the reaping wind
Nothing can save the man you knew
So turn off the lights and say goodbye to him too

Now the night is calm and the moon glows over the hill
Shattered to a million pieces, my heart is yearnin' still
I think of my Sweet Agnis and her long flowin' hair
I'm dreaming of her with me sitting in her favorite chair

When God calls on me I hear him not
I hear the ghoulish howls of the reaping wind
Nothing can save the man you knew
So turn off the lights and say goodbye to him too

I thought for a long time about what I'd do
You just wouldn't understand less you been what I been through
I'm sorry my dear Agnis, I'm so tired of hangin' on
I'll swing gently in the breeze swayin' to your favorite Song

When God calls on me I hear him not
I hear the ghoulish howls of the reaping wind
Nothing can save the man you knew
So turn off the lights and say goodbye to him too
