The Deadly Gallows Songtext
von John Underwood

I kissed her goodnight
And I kissed her goodbye
For a kiss is not enough to survive
And a love that is freed
Is a love that will bleed
Out! Into the memories of my life

It′s that time in my life where I need to begin again
This time I won't let go of the reigns
And I′ll try not to strangle you my friend
But it's hard to be the one who is living free
When I've got a noose tied around my neck
And I′m hanging from a tree
Let me out of this thing


There comes a time, when friends will fly
And this might be a sign we should let sinking ships lie
Because if we′re together, but we're not alive
Who will continue to wade into the tides
A helping hand, and some friendly eyes
I′ll lose my drive to a love in disguise
But we will see that I need time
To travel this world before I can travel your mind

It's that time in my life where I need to begin again
This time I won′t let go of the reigns
And I'll try not to strangle you my friend
But it′s hard to be the one who is living free
When I've got a noose tied around my neck
And I'm hanging from a tree

And all my closest friends have become your best friends now
But that′s alright, I hope to soon be leaving this town
They took offense, to my, being proud
I got to live this life playing folk as loud

It′s that time in my life where I need to begin again
This time I won't let go of the reigns
And I′ll try not to strangle you my friend
But it's hard to be the one who is living free
When I′ve got a noose tied around my neck
And I'm hanging from a tree


New friends I′ve made just floating around
Playing music each night, Feel more healthy turning frowns upside down
And then the day comes when they visit our town
We'll get everyone together and march on through the open grounds
Next morning, pile out, van up, we're headed north bound
Everybody in this land needs to hear the waking sound
And if we find more people who love to dance and howl
Why would I wait at all for the world to crowd around me

It′s that time in my life where I need to begin again
This time I won′t let go of the reigns
And I'll try not to strangle you my friend
But it′s hard to be the one who is living free
When I've got a noose tied around my neck
And I′m hanging from a tree

Kraken opened my head
As they try to lay me down
This night isn't meant for us to rest without her coming around
And I bid her farewell
I say "Au Revoir!"
"Adieu, ma belle, mais je ne sais pas
Si c′est bien, ou si c'est mal?
Qu'est-ce qui se passe entre nous maintenant?"

It′s that time in my life where I need to begin again
This time I won′t let go of the reigns
And I'll try not to strangle you my friend
But it′s hard to be the one who is living free
When I've got a noose tied around my neck
And I′m hanging from a tree

I learned a long time ago this life's no hand me down
And if I′m going to chase my dreams I need good people to surround me
Maybe someday we will all learn from our mistakes,
And throw another party playing music! It's our fates

It's that time in my life where I need to begin again
This time I won′t let go of the reigns
And I′ll try not to strangle you my friend
But it's hard to be the one who is living free
When I′ve got a noose tied around my neck
And I'm hanging from a tree
