Lyrics

As I went walking Out one evening Beside the sycamores By the trembling lake I met a woman Named Candy Gallows And her tears had rusted The palace gates Candy Gallows Candy Gallows Don't ask me how the time goes Candy Gallows Candy Gallows Don't ask me how the time goes She said "Your highness Thomas Aquinas Have you measured The depth of the abyss?" I said "Ms. Gallows I have not done so I cannot climb on Ladders of mist." She said "Your highness Thomas Aquinas Is god as unhappy as we?" I said "Ms. Gallows Our human sorrows Just like are lives Are flickering and brief The life hereafter," I said with laughter "Is like the radiance When a storm cloud lifts." She said "Your highness Thomas Aquinas Wouldn't god die If death were such a gift?" Candy Gallows Candy Gallows Don't ask me how the time goes Candy Gallows Candy Gallows Don't ask me how the time goes I said "Ms. Gallows I must take my leave." I cut through the graveyard Though the hour was late I struck a match Upon a tombstone And read in horror My name and date
