|
Just before my grave, Selah |
|
With bones and weathered skin |
|
It's a grave to sin afar |
|
Afar from sheltered wings |
|
So I sit and close my eyes |
|
And try to shake this chain |
|
Shake the jingle-jangle dry |
|
Evaporate the pain |
|
But tonight, tonight |
|
The stars in line |
|
And it leaves a shade of wonder |
|
Yes tonight, tonight |
|
The star returns like thunder |
|
Crowded rooms and cheap cigars |
|
You came inside my home |
|
To erase the brutal scars and memories alone |
|
But tonight, tonight |
|
You look so bright |
|
And your smile returns a story |
|
Yes tonight, tonight |
|
Your eyes transcend the glory |
|
Just before my grave, Selah |
|
The old and weathered sun |
|
It's a grave to sin afar |
|
Rehearsed with wine and rum |
|
But tonight, tonight |
|
I leave this town as I shed my flesh desires |
|
Yes tonight, tonight |
|
I leave your mind in fire |
