Close my eyes 

And dream of you.

I spent a long time in the dark

Just waiting true.

And if you told me not to go

I'd stay here in the dark

And wait some more.

And if it's in your heart to say

This is goodbye.

I'll be on my way.

There's a reaper comin'

And he knows my name.

Got a moonlight spade

Gonna' dig my grave.

The preacher man said

That I could still be saved.

There's a woman in the city

Gonna' steal my soul.

And Linda said Daddy

Sing me rock and roll

Before the sun goes down

And your bodies' cold.

My bodies' cold.

 

I've lost my way

In thoughts of you.

The path to you is dark

And I've walked true.

In all my plans

I've wanted you.

But plans drawn in the dark

Don't all see through.

And if it's in your heart to say

You're gone forever.

I'll be on my way.

 

There's a reaper comin'

And it spoke my name.

Got a blood-soaked blade

And a waiting grave.

A preacher man told me

That I could still be saved.

There's a witch in the city

Gonna' steal my soul.

The boys said Daddy

Sing us rock and roll

Before the sun goes down

And your bodies' cold.

I lay here cold.

 

There's a devil comin'

And it wrote my name.

There's a devil comin'

And I can't be saved.

There's a bast in the city

Gonna' steal my soul.

And Linda said Daddy 

Sing me rock and roll

Until the sun goes down

And your body has gone cold.

 

Until your daddy has gone cold.

Until your daddy lies here cold.

Until your daddy has turned cold.

Until your daddy lies here cold.
