"The Girl On Death Row"


Her eyes were once so full of dreams
Her young heart filled with lover schemes
Now every second she must borrow
They take her life tomorrow

Is she guilty? She says no
The girl on death row

Now someone holds her trembling hand
Another who don’t understand
Why can’t they see it in her face?
Another should be in her place

Is she guilty? She says no.
The girl on death row.

Her young dreams never will come true
Her innocence they never knew
Until they’ve found the guilty one
They’re sorry now for what they’ve done

But it’s way too late now
For the girl on death row
