The Unhappy Ending (Lead Me On)

(album: Beginnings - 1972)

Tears subsiding
Michael lifts
A gun up to his head
Sorry for the part he played
In making Maggie dead

As he pulls the trigger,
And he feels the hammer fall
His mind goes back a year ago
And he remembers us all
And how we loved him

Oh (lead me on)
Lord lead me on
Oh (lead me on)
Lord lead me on

She said she'd been with other men
But that was long ago
Long before she fell in love with him
He ought to know

He could not believe her
He told her to her face
And took on with another girl
Put Maggie in disgrace

Oh (lead me on)
Lord lead me on
Oh (lead me on)
Lord lead me on

But when they found they found her dying
He realized what he done
She died because he blamed her
For things she'd never done

A loud explosion rocks the air
And things go quite insane...
As the gun hurls out the shell
It crashes through his brain

Oh (lead me on)
Lord lead me on
Oh (lead me on)
Lord lead me on
