I wanna tell you a story Ain't got no characters in it but me I wanna sing you a sad song Most of it I don't expect you to believe It starts off just the Whiskey and Wine Oh, some miles of travel and some real good times But it ends in a dark corridor Where there ain't no windows And there ain't no doors Well that's me Just a'drinkin' off this bottle And a'driftin' out to sea Well that's me Just a'sittin here starin' And a'shakin' like a leaf Well that's me Just a'leanin' on my shovel In this graveyard of dreams Yeah that's me Just a'leanin' on my shovel In this graveyard of dreams
♪ I wanna take you to a shipwreck A thousand miles underneath the black sea It looks like everybody's sleeping But look close they are dead indeed I wanna lead you to an armchair Deep black in the files of my mind I wanna sit you in a candle's light Where I've been spendin' all of my time Well that's me Just a'drinkin' off this bottle Is it drinkin' off of me Now that's me Just a'sittin' here starin' And a'shakin' like a leaf Well that's me Just a'leanin' on my shovel In this graveyard of dreams Yeah that's me Just a'leanin' on my shovel In this graveyard of dreams
