A Waltz for Wallace Hartley

Ohio is for lovers

And I'm the jealous type

You'll be lucky

If you leave it alive

 

Wringing dead palms like wedding bells

No bouquet on an early grave

 

Winter came on December the 7th

Prayers from the penitentiary

I begged them to close the gates

Hoping that you would freeze

 

Ohio is for lovers

And I'm the jealous type

You'll be lucky

If you leave it alive
