The Grave

from Rubedo by Don Paris Schlotman

/

lyrics

The grave looked good by bed time
But I woke with a change of heart
I dreamt again of lovin you
I’ve seen your face so many times since we’ve been apart
Now I know you think I’m a liar
Nothing but a weak-kneed thief
But I never stole nothing
That wasn’t freely given to me

So if you ever wonder about me
Think you wanna change your ways
Just call me up on the telephone
And I’ll answer until my dying day
Until my dying day

The grave sounds sweet after midnight
When your thoughts are your only friend
All those memories of your lovin
Will haunt me until the bitter end
And I know you think I’m lyin
When I say don’t know what to do
Just so you know, I’m not dyin
But I’d love to be next to you

Cause I heard you been runnin
And you’re quickly losin ground
There’s nothing you need to run from
If you decide you wanna stick around

I left you like I left Kentucky
Chasing dreams to find my home
But sometimes what you leave stays with you
You’re in my heart no matter where I roam
But you know I am a liar
Despite all intentions to be true
And I know we broke each other
But please understand I never meant to
