The Cold Stares - Break My Fall Lyrics

The Cold Stares Lyrics

"Break My Fall"

Town folks gather round as they tighten the noose on my neck
Preacher says son is there anything you like to say?
Loosen your tongue, son tell us all your last request
I whispered to his ear, the last breath I held in my chest

Hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft break my fall

Said I killed the daughter of a man, and no one took my bond
And I although I loved her, I'd never wished her any harm
They never found her body, but they beat me to tell where she lay
But I was not the one, who'd taken and led her astray

So hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft break my fall

The crowd grew still as he placed the bag over my head
The rope was pulled tight, just moments until I would be dead...
When I heard the voice of a girl who screamed I'm alive!
The sweetest sound to my ears on the day that I died

Hangman please let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft please break my fall

Hangman, hangman let me down easy
Jesus hear my beck and call
If I'm a sinner, then lord please forgive me
And let something soft please break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall
Break my
