Gallows (绞刑) - Shelby Merry
Composed by:Shelby Lynn Merry
I spent a year out in the desert
I 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
And I will never change my ways
And 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
Take me on down
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
Burned it all down
At the gallows it was mercy I had found
Take me on down
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
Take me on down
At the gallows it was mercy I had found
Take me on down
At the gallows it was mercy I had found
At the gallows it was mercy I had found
At the gallows it was mercy I had found
