Gallows

I spent a year out in the desert, I spent a year out in the sea I spend 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 I didn't see and I didn't know Lord, can you bring me back home I know I've lived a wicked life, and 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 Ooh, take me on down Ooh, 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" Ooh, burned it all down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found Ooh, take me on down Ooh, 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" Ooh, take me on down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found Ooh, take me on down Ooh, at the gallows it was mercy I had found At the gallows it was mercy I had found At the gallows it was mercy I had found
