Our deeds have traveled far
Our deeds have traveled far
She wanted love forever
Witness says he tried to help
Had a violent struggle taken place?
It could have been a suicide letter
And said, "I can't love a wayward man"
But he had another plan
Our deeds have traveled far
What we have been is what we are
A witness heard a horrifying sound
She may have found a reason to forgive
Nervous, shaking, gun in hand
Is carried beyond this life
Was the victim unaware?
A witness found a switchblade on the ground
A sad close to a broken love affair
They continued to investigate
Dreadful ending, killer died
Our deeds have traveled far
Lying on the ground
What we have been is what we are
What we have been is what we are
I'd sooner take my life away
After shouting out in vain
If he had only tried to change
Maybe he had lost her love
When is their fatal meeting to be arranged?
She had to let him down
They found a note in the killer's pocket
What we have been is what we are
Is carried beyond this life
His body fell across that poor young girl
He fell into an evil way
Our deeds have traveled far
All that we learn this time
But he turned the weapon on himself
Than live with losing you
All that we learn this time
All that we learn this time
All that we learn this time
Standing by her was a man
Our deeds have traveled far
There was every sign that lead there
Evidently suicide'
What we have been is what we are
Is carried beyond this life
The witness ran to call for assistance
He ran to find a woman dead and
I feel there's only one thing left to do
What we have been is what we are
