Gallows

I spent a year out in the desert

I spent a year out in the sea

I spent my nights under the stars

Just dreaming of sleep

I still question where I've been

I don't know where I will go

I just look up to the skies

Like there's a sign I didn't see, I didn't know

Like there's a sign I didn't know

I know I‘ve lived a wicked life

I will never change my ways

An unapologetic runaway

Until it's my last day

Why is it so easy to light a match and watch

We were made of dried up timber

We were made to turn to dust

Oooh take me on down

Oooh at the gallows it was mercy I had found

So I went back to my home

And I burned it to the ground

An angel sat beside of me

We both watched it all fall down

I'm a loner of a lover

I'm a lover of my ways

So if you're here to take me back

There ain't nothing left to save

Oooh burned it all down

Oooh at the gallows it was mercy I had found

Oooh take me on down

Oooh at the gallows it was mercy I had found

I made it to the edge

There was nothing left to see

I lit one last cigarette

The angel sat beside of me

I said: I know you've got your job

He said: the grace that I have brung

Is that your death is gonna save you

From the things you're running from

Oh burned it all down

Oh at the gallows it was mercy I had found

Oh take me on down

Oh at the gallows it was mercy I had found

Is at the gallows it was mercy I had found

Is at the gallows it was mercy I had found
