Dave Preston- Gallows

I saw the good ship sail way
Taking all my peaceful days
I try and give you what you've earned
But I've forgotten what I've learned

You break my arms and scratch my brow
And let the the devils teach me how
To try and lie and sooth the burn
But I've forgotton what I've learned

And I hope you'll understand
Yeah I hope you'll understand

I'd like to see you slip away from here
Before you're caught and brought to trial.
And all the lights shine from the gallows...
They came from miles to see that smile.

They came to follow

Tell the doctor I'm ok;
I'm living for my peaceful days.
I try and lie to sooth the burn,
I get in line and wait my turn

And I hope you'll understand
Yeah I hope you'll understand

I'd like to see you slip away from here
Before you're caught and brought to trial.
And all the lights shine from the gallows...
They came from miles to see that smile.

They came to follow

And I know you hear me now,
Or I wish you'd wish hear me now

I'd like to see you slip away from here
Before you're caught and brought to trial.
And all the lights shine from the gallows...
They came from miles to see that smile.

They came to follow

You let me fall down to rock bottom,
But you made me see it's not that bad.
And some day I know you'll follow,
And I'll be right here to watch you land.
