Distant Love - Golden Earring

Daylight gone, nighttime come

I hear the executioners song & I, I say my prayer

The colour of darkness, wages of sin

Crime of innocence

A case of doubt on your hands

I say my prayer

refrein:

I remember when I used to run free

Without a judge — without a jury

& the world was mine — all mine

Yeah, all the little things mean a lot

When emptiness is all you’ve got on your mind

Doin' time. I say my prayer, say my prayer

Soul in chains, heart on ice

Freedom pays a higher price than love

I say my prayer

The colour of blindness, shade of a skin

In the eyes of a witness, makes me fold my hands

And say my prayer

refrein:

I remember when I used to run free

Without a judge — without a jury

& the world was mine — all mine

Yeah, all the little things mean a lot

When emptiness is all you’ve got on your mind

Doin' time, doin' time

And you say your prayer, while there’s nothin' left

There’s nothin' more to expect

And you say your prayer to yourself and nobody else

Why don’t you trust me

Daylight gone, nighttime come

I hear the executioners song & I, I say my prayer

Two steps up, nine steps down

One way ticket, ten feet underground

I say my prayer…
