I’ve been waiting for sleep
Down at the gallows
I’ve been praying for peace
Out in the shadows

The pictures tossed in the fire
The memories lost, saved the wrong ones
We’ve been living a lie
In carrying on, where these souls stay hanged

I’ve been waiting for sleep
Down at the gallows
I’ve been praying for peace
Talking to shadows

Let the green grass grow over me
Over me
Out where the wind blows
Let the green grass grow over me
Over me

The pictures lost in the fire
The misery saved for the wrong ones
And we just go living our lives
In carrying stones to each new dawned Sun

You ever wait so long?
Ever wait so long?
I been down, to see
Calling back to me
Ever wait so long?

Let the green grass over me
Over me
Over me

Who is left to grieve
Who is left to grieve
I'm still praying for sleep
