Answer Me lyrics - The Coral

[?] red and betrayed
We all make mistakes
And I've just made my worst
Deceived and dismayed
[?] displayed
Killed, cut, carved and cursed

Answer me
Answer me
Oh please just answer me

Judge's gavel[?] spoke
As he hung the rope
From the old abandoned tree
Fear struck a chord
Run out through the carts
I fell down to my knees

Answer me
Answer me
Oh please just answer me

There's just as much malice
In a wink as in a word
Oh so I have heard

Answer me
Answer me
Oh please just answer
Please just answer
Please just answer me
