Текст песни Mr. Innocent

Morten Abel - Mr. Innocent

I write to you this letter, you'll get it in the mail
I hope that you're not tired of my letters sent from jail
I spent twenty years in prison for a crime I did not do
But no one do believe that I am innocent, but you

I've never hurt nobody
And that's the truth I swear
Someone says they saw me on the scene
But I wasn't even near
An officer was shot to death
By machine gun fire
It's almost twenty years ago
And they still call me a liar

This is a nightmare it really is
I just hope down the line that there is some justice
Help me God if you are up there
I really didn't shoot that guy, I swear
The judge and the jury, they didn't even look at me
I didn't have a lawyer, no defence, see
Let them all feel the wrath of your power
I pay with my young life, cos
They are cowards
They are cowards

So I write to you my darling
So that you can bring it on
And prove to them my innocence
After I'm goneMorten Abel - Mr. Innocent - http://ru.motolyrics.com/morten-abel/mr-innocent-lyrics.html
Only before God can I confess without shame
A killer is out there in the streets
And I got all the blame
Can I trust you to see that these words
Are written on my stone
Don't bother with my name
Because I'd rather be unknown
"Here lies Mr. Innocent who never shed a tear"
You wanted his young life, now enjoy your dinner

Thank you and goodnight, people of the land
The system failed for an innocent man
I was 14, not yet been with a woman
Now I'm 34 and I still haven't been with one
To my mum and dad I brought a lot of pain
They didn't want me to carry their name
Now I'm just a number, a number in chains
Live my life in shame

Thank you and goodnight, people of the land
The system failed for an innocent man
I was 14, not yet been with a woman
Now I'm 34 and I still haven't been with one
To my mum and dad I brought a lot of pain
They didn't want me to carry their name
Now I'm just a number, a number in chains
Live my life in shame
In shame
In shame
