Graveyard

I wanna tell you a story

Ain't got no characters in it but me

I wanna sing you a sad song

Most of it I don't expect you to believe

It starts off just the whisky and wine

Oh, some miles of travel and some real good times

But it ends in a dark corridor

Where there ain't no windows and there ain't no doors

Well, that's me

Just to drinkin' off this bottle and driftin' out to sea, well, that's me

Just to sit in here starin' and shakin' like a leaf, well, that's me

Just to leanin' on my shovel in this graveyard of dreams, well, that's me

Just to leanin' on my shovel in this graveyard of dreams

I wanna take you to a shipwreck

A thousand miles underneath the black sea

It looks like everybody's sleepin'

But look close, they are dead, indeed

I wanna lead you to an armchair

Deep back in the files of my mind

I wanna sit you in the candle's light

Where I've been spending all of my time

Well, that's me

Just to drinkin' off this bottle isn't drinkin' off of me, now, that's me

Just to sit in here starin' and shakin' like a leaf, well, that's me

Just to leanin' on my shovel in this graveyard of dreams, yeah, that's me

Just to leanin' on my shovel in this graveyard of dreams
