Lyrics
Deadman Walking
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The enemy is at the door
The enemy within
Dressed up in the strangest clothes
Smells of drinking Bombay gin
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone
My father was a Russian Jew
My Irish mother crazy
I see summer, winter, fall
When grown men
Cry like babies
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone
Wish I never had to leave
Wish I'd never known
Wish I could stay here forever
Watch my garden grow
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone
There's a deadman talking
And his shadow's growing long
There's a deadman talking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone
There's a deadman walking
Deadman walking
Deadman talking
