The Dead They Don't Come Back Lyrics
On my way to work I noticed that
I passed the cemetery, oh lord I held my breath
The dead they don't come back.
And on my way to school, I passed that old graveyard
Life is mighty lonely, and life is mighty hard
The dead they don't wake up.
I, I am on a ride,
Measured in distance and time.
And I can see your teardrops, from behind that black-black veil,
and it made me hope for heaven, and it made me scared for hell
The dead they always sleep.
And from time-to-time, I think about my grave
When I'm gonna have one, and what`s it gonna say?
"O, it feels good to rest, its been a long, long day."
O, I am on a ride,
Measured in distance, and time.
and as sure as I was born, I will die.
And on my way back home, I stopped at your tombstone,
Said a prayer for you, I was tired and alone.
Said: Lord, I miss my friend, who's underneath my feet,
May has soul, o may his soul, may his soul rest in peace.
I passed the cemetery, oh lord I held my breath
The dead they don't come back.
Life is mighty lonely, and life is mighty hard
The dead they don't wake up.
Measured in distance and time.
and it made me hope for heaven, and it made me scared for hell
The dead they always sleep.
When I'm gonna have one, and what`s it gonna say?
"O, it feels good to rest, its been a long, long day."
Measured in distance, and time.
and as sure as I was born, I will die.
Said a prayer for you, I was tired and alone.
Said: Lord, I miss my friend, who's underneath my feet,
May has soul, o may his soul, may his soul rest in peace.
