Graveyard

(альбом: The Devil Makes Three - 2002)

I wanna tell you a story
Ain't got no characters in it but me
I wanna sing you a sad song
Most of it I don't expect you to believe
It starts off just the Whiskey and Wine
Miles of travel and some real good times
But it ends in a dark corridor
Where there ain't no windows
And there ain't no doors

Well that's me
Just a'drinking off this bottle
And a'drifting out to sea
Well that's me
Just a'sittin here staring
And a'shaking like a leaf
Well that's me
Just a'leaning on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams
Yeah that's me
Just a'leaning on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams

I wanna take you to a shipwreck
A thousand miles underneath the black sea
It looks like everybody's sleeping
But look close they are dead indeed
I wanna lead you to an armchair
Deep black in the files of my mind
I wanna sit you in the candle's light
Where I've been spending all of my time

Well that's me
Just a'drinking off this bottle
Is it drinking off of me
Now that's me
Just a'sitting here staring
And a'shaking like a leaf
Well that's me
Just a'leaning on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams
Yeah that's me
Just a'leaning on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams
