ISABELLE
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1997

This is my final act,
This is my final prayer,
Standing on a gothic ledge,
While all the sisters stare,
Jesus will you come,
And wash away my sins,
Don't you know by now,
There's an awful lot of them,
Satan knows my name,
Yeah, it's Isabelle,
If I'm not careful now,
I'll go straight to hell,
'cause all my weary days,
I lived a life of crime,
I'm only twenty-two,
But I'm running out of time,
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle,
It's just as well,
I think I see the light,
I think I see the end,
So, open up the gates,
Of heaven,
Let me in,
Jesus will you come,
And wash away my sins,
Don't you know by now,
There's an awful lot of them,
Satan knows my name,
Yeah, it's Isabelle,
If I'm not careful now,
I'll go straight to hell,
'cause all my weary days,
I lived a life of crime,
I'm only twenty-two,
But I'm running out of time,
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle,
It's just as well.
