Gravedigger

The gravedigger symbolizes death. The song is basically telling you to live out your life to the fullest, and to stay strong through all your pain and suffering. By the time the gravedigger comes looking for you, you're going to want something good for people to remember you by. In essence, life is sacred, and we need to cherish it before the gravedigger comes to visit us.

such a good song.

This song is amazing, I'm so upset I didn't hear it live when I saw them a month ago.Regardless, dave rocks, I'd love to hear this song with a full band though - can't you just imagine Boyd or Leroi jamming to this..or steffan..ahh..hopefully they'll release it eventually.

I just heard this song for the first time, it was live at the Gorge in Washington, it mezmerized all 20,000 people that were there. He played it as an encore at the end before he ended with Ants Marching. He also played Satellite and One Sweet World at this performance and apparently the concert is being turned into a documentary for TV or DVD. My friends think it's going to be a CD too, because he usually doesn't play Sattelite or One Sweet World Live.

Its about the love of life and living everyday to its fullest and loving the ones around you, because you never know when you'll see the Gravedigger for one of them

The lyrics are incomplete, the chorus is not there. If you read that part, you can tell he talks about war. He said that this song is for his father.

Another song about Dave's obsession and realization about his mortaltiy

Probably inspired from his father and sister Anne.

nice song nice meaning but what about nice tab? do you guys know where i can find it?

these lyrics are so wrong. i'm going to post the correct ones just cause i love this song so much.

"sirus jones 1810 to 1913 made his great-grandchildren believe you can live to 103 103 is forever when you're just a little kid so sirus jones lived forever
