Beyond The Last Mile Lyrics - Singles - Ray Price

I'm watching the clock tick the hours away 

They say that I must hang at the dawn of the day 

But why should I fear death for it's life anew 

For dying only takes me much nearer to you 

You left me in anger to walk by the sea 

And when they found your body, they blamed it on me 

But you know they were wrong, dear, so wait for awhile 

For we shall be together beyond the last mile 

The stars hide their face to make way for the sun 

And soon death, it shall claim me and make us as one 

While others are walking the streets with a smile 

Then I know, I'll be walking beyond the last mile 

The chaplain is making his last plea to God 

Soon up the numbered steps to the scaffold, I'll trod 

My footsteps won't falter, I'll walk with a smile 

For I know, you'll be waiting beyond the last mile
