Gallows

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?

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

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

Yes, at the gallows, it was mercy I had found

Yes, at the gallows, it was mercy I had found
