[Verse 3]
             
Then the music

              
 stopped, when

             
 I looked, the

y drink from m

        
y hand, and fr

om the window 

I ran
             
And as I rode 

              
a-way, I could

              
 hear her say 

           
to Jos - e - a

f man, so big 

and so strong
            
Come a little 

            
bit closer, I'

             
m all a-lone, 

              
and the night
