I hear that death sound, baby
Oh, like an echo in my brain
I hear that death sound, baby
Oh, like an echo in my brain
Well, there's a part of us dying
You know things will never be the same
Ah, never be the same!

I feel the black nails a-poundin' now
Yes, into the coffin of our love
Hear the black nails a-poundin' now
Yes, into the coffin of our love
Well, like a black shrouded hunter now
Don't you know that I have killed a snow-white dove
Oh, I've killed a dove!

Well, the time sands keep a-fallin' now
On toward our ending day
Yeah, the time sands keep a-fallin'
Towards our ending day
I see the minutes chasing the hours, Yes, to the words that we should say
Ah, we should say!
