Honest Men
Janet Devlin
[Verse 1] Where have all the honest men gone? I’m flocked by vultures in the summer sun They take what they can get then gone in another breath Where have all the honest men gone? [Verse 2] My shoes are filled with lead what can I do? It’s sink or swim or just avoid the truth So I’ll take what I can get and accept the consequence But where have all the honest men gone? [Chorus] Now there’s tears in my eyes oh no surprise ’Cause there’ll be tears in my eyes ’til the day I die Oh angel of death why haven’t you kissed me yet? Oh angel of death I long for your caress So won’t you save me oh save me Oh won’t you save me oh save me [Verse 3] Where has all my happiness gone? It disappeared the moment I sang your song I’ll be buried in this noose it’s written in the books But where have all the honest men gone? [Chorus] Now there’s tears in my eyes oh no surprise ’Cause there’ll be tears in my eyes ’til the day I die Oh angel of death why haven’t you kissed me yet? Oh angel of death I long for your caress So won’t you save me oh save me Oh won’t you save me oh save me [Outro] My soul wasn’t enough You want it all you wanted blood My soul wasn’t enough You want it all you wanted blood My soul wasn’t enough (Save me) You want it all you wanted blood (Save me) My soul wasn’t enough (Save me) You want it all you wanted blood (Save me) My soul wasn’t enough (Save me) You want it all you wanted blood (Save me) My soul wasn’t enough (Save me) You want it all you wanted blood (Save me) But where have all the honest men gone?
