I was waiting for my demise,
When I first saw your eyes,
You were in the cell across the hall,
We were separated by this wall,
I had killed, and you had too,
But we just did what we had to do,
Now we're sitting here on trial,
But you know how to make me smile.

We'll be hanging next to one another,
But at least we'll have each other.

It's just you and me and the wind in the gallows baby,
You and me and the wind in the gallows baby,
This romance is so complex,
We die with rope round our necks,
It's just you and me,
And the wind in the gallows.

We settled down to our last meal,
Told each other how we feel,
Day quickly turned to dusk,
They had the nooses ready for us,
The hangmen called out our names,
To be hung for all our shames,
Consider this our last goodbye,
Crowds gather to watch us die.

We'll be hanging next to one another,
But at least we'll have each other.

It's just you and me and the wind in the gallows baby,
You and me and the wind in the gallows baby,
This romance is so complex,
We die with rope round our necks,
It's just you and me,
And the wind in the gallows,
And the wind in the gallows.

The ropes are tied,
We lose our lives,
The wind in the gallows,
Takes our breath away.

The knots are tightened,
No longer frightened,
The wind in the gallows,
Takes our breath away.

It's just you and me and the wind in the gallows baby,
You and me and the wind in the gallows baby,
This romance is so complex,
We die with rope round our necks,
It's just you and me,
And the wind in the gallows,
And the wind in the gallows,
And the wind in the gallows.
