Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I spent a year out in the desert, 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
Like there's a sign I didn't know
Lord, can You bring me back home?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Ooh take me on down
Ooh at the gallows it was mercy I had found
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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"
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Yes, at the gallows, it was mercy I had found
Yes, at the gallows, it was mercy I had found
