Silver Gallows Lyrics

Album: Freaks

She drove me home after the fire went out

And showed me her silver gallows

We talked until our moon came out

And reflected in the shallows

I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean

You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light

I never gave you in life and

All of the mournful gather 'round

This silver noose

I hang from still

And when you finally cut me down

Don't bury me in the garden

We both know nothing will grow there

And I need old dirt to roll in

I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean

You'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light

I never gave you in life and

All of the mournful gather 'round

This silver noose

I hang from still

And I'll swing for the rest of my days

It's okay, I found rhythm to sway
