Odessa

They met, in a bar on the Boulevard
In the Summer of 99
He was looking for something new
She was looking for love

He told her that she was beautiful
She thought he was the one
The rumour mill went into overdrive
She didn't listen to one

They bought a house on the Avenue
And they got married in June
But he got tired of being tied down
And he drank by the light of the moon

And I know, you'll take the fall
Right there in Odessa
And the words out on the street
Keep dragging you down
She cries out in the night
When he turns toward the bottle
But he's not going down without a fight
And she's running out of time

You fell in love with her easy grace
The way she smiled with her eyes
But you could tell that something wasn't right
By the bruises she tried to hide

You could not bear to see her pain
You promised to end it all
When the shot rang out, on that fateful night
You buried the evidence down

And I know, you'll take the fall
Right there in Odessa
And the words out on the street
Keep dragging you down
And she cries out in the night
When he turns toward the bottle
But he's not going down without a fight
And she's running out of time

And I know, you'll take the fall
Right there in Odessa
And the words out on the street
Keep dragging you down
She cries out in the night
When he turns toward the bottle
But he's not going down without a fight
And she's running out of
Time
