TEN TEARS OF MY LIFE

I spend each day
Inside my cell
Where every day’s
A living hell
I live in hope
I have a goal
Awaiting news
Of my parole

The reason why
I’m in this state
I shot my man
He met his fate
He was a cheat
And in the heat
I shot him down

I’ve lost ten years of my life
For a thing that I needed to do
The man who I thought was devoted to me
He went off to find somebody new
I’ve lost ten years of my life
I suppose it just had to be
Because of one moment of time
Time inside
Seems to be eternity

While I’ve been here
I’ve played it cool
I know what’s what
I’m no-one’s fool
Today at noon
I have a chance
To get out soon

I’ve lost ten years of my life
For a thing that I needed to do
The man who I thought was devoted to me
He went off to find somebody new
I’ve lost ten years of my life
I suppose it just had to be
Because of one moment of time
Time inside
Seems to be eternity

I am praying to be set free
All I ask is a new chance for me
To be free

I’ve lost ten years of my life
For a thing that I needed to do
The man who I thought was devoted to me
He went off to find somebody new
I’ve lost ten years of my life
I suppose it just had to be
Because of one moment of time
Time inside
Seems to be eternity

Ten years of my life
Ten years of my life
Ten years of my life
Ten years of my life
