The Gift
I was sitting in a grave yard and I
Didn't know
And I walk in the dark and a bottle of wine
Thinking there the moon hang in the sky
Cut your rope
Have a little tune going through my ear
Then I started to cry
.. in heaven on my heart
Too much on my mind
I was staring out of the shadows
When I don't .. a few
Heard the whisper in the ..
All around you
'
Then it get towels in my hand everybody's thinking so
Can slip the release and all the pieces
But they knew it was time to go
They left me there
The cold gray dawn
I feel like a man walking in the sleep
.. to my car
But now I have a shut gun rider
She said: I ain't gonna fall
I hope you remember what you've seen here
Boy, as long as you live
I'm gonna have to leave you now
.. that's the gift
