(When it comes, he cannot sleep, but when he does, a strange, prophetic dream comes to him, and helps him to bear the strain of his next day's ordeal as scaffold and its crew try in vain three times to take his life)
[I. The Time Is Near 0:00 - 2:32]
[Verse 1]
The time is near for things to pass, the time for me to leave
But as I lie here all alone, I really can't believe
That twenty years I've spent on Earth could end in so much grief
That the many friendly faces should now stare hatefully
[Verse 2]
A letter home to mother and a letter home to dad
Another for my sweetheart, for whom I feel so sad
A lock of hair to cling to is all that will remain
And a grave inside this prison yard, a stone that bears no name
[Instrumental Break]
[Violin Solo]
[Verse 3]
My trials and tribulations are nearly now all gone
A murderer I never was and my spirit will live on
Jesus, help me in this troubled time, this hour of trouble deep
Help me find my peace of mind, help me, Lord, to sleep
[II. Dream Song 2:32 - 7:57]
