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
