"Murder In The City" lyrics

Swept Away Original Broadway Cast, The Avett Brothers, Stark Sands & Adrian Blake Enscoe Lyrics

"Murder In The City"
(from "Swept Away" soundtrack)

If I get murdered in the city
Don't go revengin' in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away
When I leave your arms
The things that I think of
No need to get over-alarmed
I'm comin' home

I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents love the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seem to let the other go
A tear fell from my father's eyes
I wondered what my dad would say

He said:
"I love you and I'm proud of you both in so many different ways."

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't bother with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list

Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name

Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name

Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name

Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh...
Oh...
