Constance Songtext
von Ron Hynes

Constance, the night is beautiful
If you could see it all from where I stand
If I could catch its light, I′d send it home to you
Were it not for these shackles on my hands

Oh, the tale I tell is of a loaded gun
And another one who took your heart and soul
Here inside this cell, they know me all too well
Though my name is just a number on a roll

Constance, ooh, ooh
Constance, ooh, ooh

Constance, the moon's magnificent
So reminiscent of your sweet face
And in my heart of hearts, I am innocent
But then again, so is each man in this place


And I am heartsore, and what is more
I don′t ever sleep from midnight until dawn
I wake up in the dark to a pounding heart
And the scream that dies inside the night is mine

Constance, ooh, ooh
Constance, ooh, ooh

Constance, the rain is falling now
Like a ghostly shroud, the fog rolls in
And as a common rule, it takes a special kind of fool
To find a drowning fool and fall in

Oh, the tale I tell is of a loaded gun
And another one who took your heart and soul
Here inside this cell, they know me all too well
Though my name is just a number on a roll

Constance, ooh, ooh
Constance, ooh, ooh

Constance, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
