Sixteen

Sixteen

Seventeen I’ll never be, Seventeen I’ll never See,
Sixteen for eternity.

I took my life that fate filled night,
When saw you in the pale moonlight.
And in your arms a silken gown,
Was a girl from another town.

They found me in a riverbed
Water swaying around my head
On the shore they found a note
They read the tear stained note I wrote.

Dig my grave, Dig it deep
Place a stone from head to feet
And on the top a pure white dove
To show the world I died for love

Seventeen I’ll never be, seventeen I’ll never see,
Sixteen for eternity.......
