My dear Helen it's been a while since we've talked [00:00:00]

Charlie and I haven't been up to a whole lot [00:00:07]

He's slowing down a little and my knee's acting up [00:00:15]

Yeah we're quite a pair of geezers[00:00:21]

Moving slower than molasses [00:00:23]

You'd be laughing if you saw us [00:00:25]

You always loved to tease [00:00:28]

I dug up an old bottle of your raspberry wine [00:00:34]

So I'm slouched out on the[00:00:42]

Porch-swing just taking my time [00:00:43]

My mind keeps turning out these pictures of you [00:00:50]

You were dancing in the kitchen[00:00:54]

And I was enjoying my view [00:00:57]

Oh Charlie was squirming[00:01:01]

Just two steps behind you [00:01:02]

My dear Helen do you remember when you said[00:01:09]

That you'd be waiting at the gates[00:01:16]

So you could sneak me in[00:01:18]

Well it sure was funny[00:01:24]

But it still caught in my throat [00:01:26]

And when I think about it now [00:01:30]

It still makes me choke [00:01:32]

And I wonder if those gates[00:01:35]

Would ever open up for me [00:01:37]

Helen my dear I do have something to tell [00:01:43]

I don't know how to start so I guess I just will [00:01:51]

See these nights have been hot [00:01:58]

It's that muggy sort of air [00:02:01]

Doesn't let me get to sleep[00:02:04]

So I usually just lie there[00:02:06]

On top of my quilt with Charlie by my feet [00:02:10]

Last night as I laid there frustrated and tired [00:02:18]

I was sat up in my bed[00:02:25]

By the hens starting wild [00:02:27]

I thought 'that fox is back again [00:02:33]

He's gonna rob me blind [00:02:36]

I don't know how he gets in[00:02:38]

But I'd better make him fly' [00:02:40]

So I took my leaning rifle out the door [00:02:43]

I fired off a shot aiming far into the heat [00:02:51]

And as soon as it was flying[00:02:59]

I felt weak in my knees [00:03:01]

I heard shoes turning gravel[00:03:07]

And then tires spitting rocks [00:03:09]

I heard a gasp for air[00:03:12]

And my stomach tied in knots [00:03:15]

Charlie started whining[00:03:18]

With his tail between his legs [00:03:20]

We wandered out slow[00:03:23]

But my heart was breakin' ribs [00:03:24]

I couldn't hear nothing[00:03:28]

And there was a girl lying twisted [00:03:29]

My hands were trembling[00:03:33]

And I felt that she was limp [00:03:35]

Her pulse wasn't tapping[00:03:38]

So I felt sick to my stomach [00:03:40]

Charlie was frozen [00:03:43]

So I went for a shovel[00:03:45]

And I buried her body [00:03:47]

I didn't know what else to do [00:03:50]

If I'd only aimed a little higher[00:03:52]

If I'd only thought before I fired [00:03:55]

I hope God can forgive me [00:03:58]

I hope you forgive me too [00:04:00]

I'm just a tired old man just waiting to join you [00:04:02]

So here I am slouched on this old porch swing [00:04:07]

Thinking about heaven thinking about everything [00:04:13]

So be waiting by those gates [00:04:17]

You might need to sneak me in [00:04:20]

I don't know how they feel about us accidental killers [00:04:23]

I don't know how they feel about us tired old men [00:04:29]

I don't know how they feel about us tired [00:04:34]

Old murdering men [00:04:36]

I don't know how they feel about us tired [00:04:44]

Old murdering men [00:04:47]
