the dreamer and the sleeper - hangman lyrics
[instrumental intro]
[verse 1]
hangman coming
gonna take me away
i’ve seen no justice
for all my days
a death toll ringing
i’m on the run
the rope man singing
“your days are done”
[chorus]
need to see my lady
gonna reach my baby
‘for the law arrives
too tired to run
let’s sleep
dream of the river
‘for the law arrives
[verse 2]
he knows my secrets
he’s seen my ways
the lawman buried me
so far away
in a concrete cell block
i wait for noon
with the hangman sneering
“your days are doomed”
[chorus]
in that crowd, my lady
wanna see my baby for the final time
in that crowd, my lady
she’s the only one with salty eyes
flashback baby through a time so crazy
we were old but we were so alive
flashback baby to a time
when we maybe could have changed our lives
sixteen summers, and the sound of thunder
ringing softly through the blood-red sky
sixteen summers, in the rain
that washes off my dark disguise
[chorus]
in that crowd, my lady
wanna see my baby for the final time
in that crowd, my lady
she’s the only one with salty eyes
flashback baby through a time so crazy
we were old but we were so alive
flashback baby to a time
when we maybe could have changed our lives
sixteen summers, and the sound of thunder
ringing softly through the blood-red sky
sixteen summers, in the rain
that washes off my dark disguise
[repeated]
slow-motion, through the front door
you come visit me at my house
[instrumental outro]
