"Cemetery Blues" lyrics

When the callous forms on your weary feet
I would carry you till the devil is asleep
Are my open arms not the heaven you seek?
When I know one day you'll get tired of me

If death is only waiting for a final breath
I'm waiting for your silhouette
I could follow you forever till the bitter end
And we could make amends, say we'll meet again
The afterlife is colder than they told me it would be
Now I have nothing left to lose
But these cemetery blues

I was patient there in the cemetery
Watched the flowers bloom through the dirt I'm underneath
Even six feet down, I can hear you speak
'Cause I know one day you'll get tired of me

If death is only waiting for a final breath
I'm waiting for your silhouette
I could follow you forever till the bitter end
And we could make amends, say we'll meet again
The afterlife is colder than they told me it would be
Now I have nothing left to lose
But these cemetery blues

Carry me until the devil is asleep
Watch me bloom from the dirt I'm underneath
Death is only waiting for a final breath

Carry me until the devil is asleep
Watch me bloom from the dirt I'm underneath
Nothing to lose but these cemetery blues

Are my open arms not the heaven you seek?
When I know one day you'll get tired of me
