Videoclip by ‪@Plastikwombat‬ 21 Years The judge said stand up lad and dry up your tears, You've been sentenced to Dartmore for twenty one years, So dry up your tears babe and kiss me goodbye, For the best friends must part babe, so must you and I, I hear the train coming, t'will be here at nine, To take me to Dartmore to serve up my time, I look down the railway and plainly I see, Your standing there waving your good bye's to me. Six months have gone by babe, I wish I was dead, This cold weary prison, a stone for my head, It's raining it's hailing, the moon gives no light, Oh won't you tell me babe, why you never wright. I've counted the days babe I've counted the nights, I've counted the footsteps I've counted the lights I've counted the raindrops I've counted the stars, I've counted a million of these prison bars. I waited, I trusted, I longed for the day, A life-time so lonely, now my hair's turning grey, But my thoughts are for you babe till I'm out of my mind, For twenty one years is a mighty long time.
