Of all the mistakes that I’ve made I’ve spent years making up for them And all the people, that i’ve chopped up Alas they’re all dead and gone And all i’ve done, for the girl I carry For her memory, is still with me So hide from me, for lantern burns Good night and peace be with my dear
Oh all the friends that i’ve abandoned They are all gone with my sanity And all the days i’ve watched them walk They are lost and within the woods, they’ll stay And since they’ll fall, the trees will wait So they shall die, and she will not I’ll help you woodsman, i’ll keep her soul Good night and work be with my host Good night and peace be with my slave
