You Were Born to Be My Gallows

May your velvet casket never close

Let this river take us where the river knowsYou were born to be my gallows

You can't kill the light

Nor lose your shadow

But in the blackest of night

We can lose all this sorrowMy baby knows how it rock and rolls

Bless the ash grey bones of the blood red roseYou were born to be my gallows

You can't kill the light

Nor lose your shadow

But in the blackest of night

Lord we can lose all this sorrowWe can

We can lose all this sorrowWe can

Lord we can lose all this sorrow

Lose this sorrow

Lose this sorrow

Lose this sorrow

Lose this sorrow
