Nikki Sudden & The Jacobites - Death Is Hanging Over Me

from the album "Texas"

Lyrics:

Death is hanging over me
Though this room is seldom cold
Rosewood candles light the way
Along this tarnished road.

Death is hanging over me
In it's empty covered shroud
Death is hanging over me
And it could never seem too loud.

It's waiting in my arms
Like a perfect glimpse of white
A thousand islands twist and fall
In the morning light.

Death is hanging over me
It merely twists and falls
Death is hanging over me
But I can't hear it at all.

My death waits there

i remember meeting Nikki way back when in Iowa, of all places. this local moped chick ended up in bed with him, he left early in the morning. however he left his hepatitis meds behind on the kitchen counter... whoops.....

What an amazing piece of music...I miss this Beautiful Man, he was way too young & brilliant to leave us, still can't believe he's gone...Thank You '  L ' for introducing me to his music 20yrs. ago, hope your doing well & still listening to Nikki.
