Текст (слова) песни: Tim O`Brien - Footsteps So Near
There`s a tale they tell down in old Wolf County Of a murderous husband and his family of three One day a neighbor from over the hill He found them dead in the cabin it was so deathly still
The killer he left a note and I know how it read I hope you don`t find me I`d rather be dead Than to live in your jailhouse for the rest of my days Until a jury it hangs me for my wicked ways
Chorus: Sometimes at night I wake to the sound Of the men in the distance and the baying of hounds Once on a full moon in the spring of the year I heard breaking branches and footsteps so near
Well the posse it searched it was five days or more He hid in a cave by the steep river shore В‘Til he gave himself up he started walking downtown Before he got to the courthouse a man shot him down
He said I`m not sorry for what I have done But I cannot live like a man on the run I`m glad that you killed me you can dig me my grave It can`t be much worse than that dark lonely cave
Chorus
