Murder Creek

And I walked across the old town bridge
And I was greeted by a man who loved my iris rose
He said to me, don't run, and he raised his forty-four gun
And I knew that I had to die from the look inside his eye

He said, don't run, I didn't run, don't run, can't run, I didn't run
Don't run, can't run, I didn't run, don't run
Should've run, I didn't run
And I knew of the deed I'd done
It was all in the name of love

And I stand above the creek
And I look into the foam
But I've got nowhere to run
It was worth the thing I'd done

As I take my last breath
I don't run, I didn't run, don't run, can't run, I didn't run
Don't run, can't run, I didn't run, don't run
Should've run, I didn't run

Murder Creek
Murder Creek
Murder Creek

And the waves, they crash into the stone
And enter the unknown
To wait for Iris Rose
For her I'd sell my soul
And she weeps into the shore

With blood and tears and foam
We almost had a home
But we didn't run, we didn't run, don't run, can't run
We didn't run, can't run, don't run
We didn't run, should've run, should've run, we didn't run

But in the end, I'll be with her I know
With a shotgun in my face
I stand with my disgrace
In a backwards act of love

I decide that I must face
To that gun
I didn't run, don't run, can't run, I didn't run, can't run, don't run
I didn't run, should've run, should've run, I didn't run

Murder Creek
Murder Creek
Murder Creek
Murder Creek
