Sussex Ghost Story
Redemption's Melody: A Sussex Ghost Story Unveiled
Lyrics
After I had killed my wife
After committing the act of killing my wife
And by the jury been acquitted
And having been declared not guilty by the jury
I resolved to change my life
I made a resolution to change my life
And try to lead a life less wicked
And attempt to live a less sinful life
I roamed around from town to town
I traveled from place to place in search of employment
In search of some employment
Seeking opportunities for work
It was here I settled down
Eventually, I settled down in a particular location
I saw her standing in the sun
I noticed her standing in the sunlight
I was bewitched by all her features
I was enchanted by all her qualities
And before the day was done
And by the end of the day
I fell in love with a school teacher
I had fallen in love with a school teacher
An since she had no next of kin
Since she had no close relatives
I offered my assistance
I offered my help
To my surprise she took me in
To my surprise, she accepted my assistance and took me in
We spent the summer of that year
We enjoyed a perfect life that summer
In a life of such perfection
In a state of ideal perfection
But winter first appeared
However, when winter arrived
I felt the cold of her rejection
I felt the chill of her rejection
It was then she turned to me
It was at this point she turned to me
With a look I didn't recognize
Wearing an expression I didn't recognize
It is our anniversary
It is revealed to be our anniversary
It is our anniversary
It is our anniversary (repeated for emphasis)
And you cannot run away from me
And she asserts that I cannot escape from her
I saw a light upon a knife
I observed a light shining on a knife
And in the moment that I recognized
And in the moment of recognition
I begged for my life
I pleaded for my life
