Like a strange fruit, that's out of season
Oh, you are bound to die alone
You will swing free on the breeze then
Oh, you are bound to die alone
(You are bound to die alone)
At the end of the day with the lights out
Oh, you are bound to die alone
(Oh)
At the end of it all, there is no doubt
Oh, that you are bound to die alone
(We are bound to die alone)
Don't, darling, die on me now
(Don't, darling, die on me now)
We'll dig this grave close to your home
(We'll dig a grave close to your home)
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
(Don't you fix your eyes on me now)
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
They're coming closer just to kill us
Don't cry, don't cry on me now
No, they ain't ever gonna help us
Close to his grave we'll build our home
They're coming closer just to kill us
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
You know they're never gon' help us
We never said you'd come back home
End of the way, when the thieves tell
Oh, you are bound to die alone
(Oh)
At the end of it all when the fields burn
Oh, you are bound to die alone
(We are bound to die alone)
Oh
Now, darling, don't die, don't die on me now
(Oh)
And we'll dig a grave close to our home
Don't you fix your eyes
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
Don't, darling, die on me now
(Don't, darling, die on me now)
We'll dig this grave close to your home
(We'll dig a grave close to your home)
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
(Don't you fix your eyes on me now)
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
