Dearly Departed

Doubt

She's got a stare
Like the cold mountain air
She's got a stare
Like the cold mountain air
There's a spell in her eyes beware

Lord she's wild
And she can't be tamed
Lord she's wild
And she can't be tamed

Girl I've been tryin
To keep you pleased
Girl I've been tryin
To keep you pleased
Are you a curse
Will you make me bleed

I know you got your demons
Lyin at your feet
I know you got your demons
Lyin at your feet

I don't want to be hangin
On your sleeve
I don't want to be hangin 
On your sleeve
But you've been showin me things I don't believe

So let me sit and wonder
Just how it will be
Let me sit and wonder
How it will be
Don't you chain me up or set me free

Don't chain me up
Don't chain me up
Don't chain me up
Or set me free

Burn The Map

Cold Mountain Air

In the hallways of my mind
There is a door slamming shut
If you pay the poor man’s price
You see inside of your mind
Yeah your mind

To the ship upon the water
Floating on an empty sea
It will float on that way forever
That ship has sailed away, you see
Why can’t you see

Oh lay me down
By the river’s edge
Let me drink 
From that cool clear stream
Wish me luck
On the road ahead
No one knows
What tomorrow may bring

In the hallways of the dead
There is a cracked and broken mirror
And waiting by the water’s edge
They are there waiting still

To the ship upon the water
Floating on an empty sea
It will float on that way forever
That ship has sailed away, you see
Why can’t you see

I never thought I’d see you drowning in the water
Face down you’re wondering what you’re after
They could never see you
With those cold dead eyes

I never thought I’d see you drowning in the water
Face down you’re wondering what you’re after
They could never see you
With those cold dead eyes

Hallways

Can I sing about my troubles
Are you gonna stay
Be my eyes when I’m seein double
Guide me through the maze

Pull me out of the sewer hole honey
When I’m too dazed
Take it all though we don’t have money
Ain’t got no shame

It ain’t easy layin in the rubble
When I’m to blame
Hit me hard and make me stumble
I’m still the same

Keep a smile though there ain’t no lovin
I’m still not fazed
Here it comes grab ahold of something
Embrace the change

Seven

I feel the storm and it's on its way
You better run for the hills today 
Nurse all your wounds
Forget all your pain
Don't know if this one will break

So keep your smiles and your grins
Don't waste all your time
Making amends
There ain’t no room for your friends

Don't let me down now
Don't let me down now
Don't let me down now

Cast off to the salty sea
May we find all the gold there be
Set the sails, burn the map
Batten down the hatch
We may have finally met our match

You choose the storm or you choose the plank
You made your choice
When all your faith sank
And there's just yourself to thank

Don't let me down now
Don't let me down now
Don't let me down now

Dearly Departed
