the peter ulrich collaboration - hanging man lyrics

[verse 1: sara wendt]
he rode home at a bone-scared speed
his hand, it did tremble
his hand, it did bleed
his mother said
“son, where you been this day?
and why’s your black hair
shot through with grey?”
and your eyes like a winter dawn
“oh mother, i’ve been
to the green piney wood”
i met my lover
who i thought no good
there i drew my good sharp knife
one deep plunge
and i took her life
in the cold, lonely grey of the dawn

[chorus: sara wednt]
and as i turned
from her dying light
suddenly i saw a vision bright
up in the air
was a hanging man
grinning and dancing
oh lord, how i ran
in the cold, lonely grey of the dawn

[verse 2: sara wendt]
“dear mother i’ll burn in h-ll
when i’m dead”
his mother wept as this was said
and her eyes like a winter dawn
and now the drums beat
a last tattoo
soon his short bitter life
will be through
in the cold, lonely grey of the dawn
so listen, you lovers
with your angry hands
or you’ll do the dance of the hanging man
in the cold lonely grey of the dawn
in the cold lonely grey of the dawn
