Midnight falls over me,
Coming down like water...
Midnight falls over me,
Coming down like water...
Throwing these ashes out to the sea,
And it's taken so long.
Breaking these bones,
Breaking these bones, wont grow old.
It only hurts when you're gone.
If you look for me I'm never at home.
If I ever call, you're never alone.
And if there's nothing left for me to do,
I'll write a song for you to come home to...
Don't dig my grave till I'm gone.
They may be words you've heard me say before,
But this time I hope they mean more, in a song.
Midnight falls over me,
I see the moon in your eyes.
Just be here, just breathe.
Just stay to see the sunrise.
You may turn me away but I understand.
Though we never touch, I'm holding your hand.
And if there's nothing left for me to do,
I'll write a song for you to come home to...
Don't dig my grave till I'm gone.
They may be words you've heard me say before,
But this time I hope they mean more, in a song.
So what good are the tears for,
Will they bring you back to my door?
What good are the tears for,
When you're half a world away?
This isn't what I left for,
I can't feel my heart beating me.
So what good are the tears for,
When you're lonely?
And if there's nothing left for me to do,
You're like a song for me to come home to...
Don't dig my grave till I'm gone.
But there are many men who've come before,
I wanna let you know you've meant more, in a song.
And if there's nothing left for me to do,
I'll write a song for you to come home to,
Don't dig my grave till I'm gone.
They may be words you've heard me say before,
But this time I hope they mean more, in a song.
Midnight falls over me,
Coming down like water...
