"10 minutes late" M.D.O. special: Murder Ballads
10 Minutes Late
It was a sunny summer day
All the children were out to play
And I stood against a wall waiting for her
She was my goddess undercover
A sight of beauty and wonder…
Oh, how much I loved her…
Holly was her name
And she was not the one to blame
Nor was I in this lovely game
I just could say that it was fate
That brought us face to face
And as always she was a little late… for now…
3 o’clock pm. Children jumping and laughing around
I was distracted by all that sound and she was nowhere to be found
When suddenly I felt a warm soft touch
A sweet light scent that was never too much
Hazel eyes and chocolate hair
Oh my love had come outta nowhere… for now
I hugged her tight and said:
“You 10 minutes late, but don’t be sad
Coz it’s always worth the wait for you...”
She looked me straight in the eyes
Kissed me, and reached deep inside
And said: “I’ll Love you till I die” … so right.
6 o’clock pm. The garden was a deserted land.
She stayed with me all the afternoon
Kissing me, speaking to me, holding my hand
And when the sun was low, she left like the noon
Only to meet me later, in the cold night
That came closer with the death of light
“10 o’clock meet by Café Sunrise
And try to be there on time” She said.
“Don’t worry my dear. I’ll be there on time.”
I said, and now I hope I was dead.
For I wish I was there on time
To avoid such dreadful crime!
10 minutes late was all it took!
For that bastard and his hook
Rip the light off her hazel eyes
And let the blood drown her cries!
With this grizzly act of murder
The sorrowful crying of her lover!
“NOOOOOOOO” I screamed out loud.
“Why you” I kept asking my screaming mind
I looked up at the sky and there was this cloud
Just above me and my dead love
It stared me right in the eyes!
And I screamed out my sorrowful cries!
Alone in the darkest street
I hold her in my arms
Her kiss once so sweet
Now so cold it harms…
My aching soul and heart!
How will I not fall apart?
And so I took her to a cemetery
And sat with her on a grave
The night was drenched in melancholy
And I cried blood over who I craved
For so many years as the sight of the moon
Her death made me await my doom,
I so hope it come soon…
