lyrics

One day I'll die in a place that never knew my name
A mourning ghost with no face to tie to my shame
Disconnected, left repentant, a victim of life and love and blame
Lost chances and second glances, still it ends all the same
Still it ends

So lay down by my bones
Lay down by my bones

Not every thorn has a rose to call its scarlet sideling
But many a cloud hangs over without the promised silver lining
This my ghost will sing at my empty funeral
Burn my shadow down, leave no trace at all

So lay down by my bones
Lay down by my bones
Lay down by my bones
Lay down by my bones

Arms outstretched now in the black
I'm trying to find how to come back
I know I've been gone a while
And though I'm not the man you love
I'm praying to the Lord above
One day I might see you smile

Arms outstretched now in the black
I'm trying to find how to come back
I know I've been gone a while
And though I'm not the man you love
I'm praying to the Lord above
One day I might see you smile

So lay down, lay down, lay down alone
So lay down, lay me down, now I'm just dust and bones

Just a grumpy guy with an old acoustic guitar, singing grumpy songs. After a lot of work and whisky, my first EP 'Here or There' is finally finished, and here it is for your listening pleasure!
