The Coroner's GambitWhen death came calling todayI heard the gentle grace of his cadences I couldn't say no I couldn't say no When he showed me his new silk scarves Laid out on a shiny black plastic tray Couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say no I couldn't say no And I'm sorry I couldn't Do you know how badly I wanted to? Didn't want, didn't want, didn't want, didn't want, didn't want to lose you But his smile was dazzling And his eyes were sparkling Like moonlight on the water at midnight Couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say, couldn't say no I couldn't say no |
