lyrics

Sonya © Ripoff Raskolnikov

Oh Sonya, I love you for what it is worth
But if you had any sense, you’d give me a wide birth
They will haul me away to the end of the earth
And you’ll have to go and find somebody new.

There’s a world of virtue and there’s a world of sin
And I can’t go back to the places I’ve been
I’m a stranger even to my own next of kin
And all that I have is you.

And I ain’t worth the trouble you put yourself to
I ain’t worth the tears that you cry
When they set me in chains and put me on that train
I don’t want you to stand there and wave me good-bye.

I was with you when you prayed, I was with you when you wept
And I’d love to be with you forever except
The gift that you are offering is more than I can accept
And I still haven’t sunk quite so low.

Life offers its lessons to those who will learn
What comes easy to one man another must earn
I’ve caused others to suffer and now it’s my turn
And it’s a solitary road I must go.


Now you know, that very last scene at the end of the book
Where I hold you in my arms by the side of the brook
I just can’t see it working in real life and look
What good would it be any way.

No man can escape from the hands of fate
And who ever sent you to save me, they sent you too late
If I ever get out of this prison camp gate
I will be old and I will be grey.
