Gallows

I remember it vaguely at the borders of our yard

Reaching down to drink from our creek

Dark-voiced shadowed beast at the gallows of our willow trees

And when it spoke, it was time to hold my peace

But by the time it left me here

I knew that I could make it out alive

And by the time it left me here

I knew that I could make it out alive

Singing: Oh! Let him go

Singing: Oh! Let him go

But you were always scared

With the demons in your eyes

Well, you brought 'em here

When you laid back there

In my bed of a thousand lies

Like a dog in the night

Can you run straight through your fright?

I'm still alive

I'm still alive

Singing: Oh! Let him go

Singing: Oh! Let him go

Singing: Oh! Let him go

Singing: Oh! Let him go

But by the time it left me here

I knew that I could make it out alive

And by the time you left me here

I knew that I could make it out alive

Singing: Oh! Let him go

Singing: Oh! Let him go

Singing: Oh! Let him go

Singing: Oh! Let him go
