Snow Ghosts Gallows Strung Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She tied a rope around your neck
And led you through the town
With love that's like the gallows
Strung, but she'll never cut you down

[Verse 2]
When you left, the Sun went out
Walk in fields of grey
And I will wear my feather crown
Turn the night to day

[Verse 3]
You said my name, but the devil came
With her black eyes and paper cut smile
You said, "My love, has it been so long?
Won't you stay a little while?"

[Verse 4]
I said, "No chance, the devil won't dance
Or run with the wolves in the wild
I've had my fill, my way with your will
Leave me here, leave me here,"

[Chorus 1]
"To sleep like a child
To sleep like a child
To sleep like a child
To sleep like a child
To sleep like a child."

[Bridge]
You asked me silently, to keep your secrets close to me
You asked me silently, to keep your secrets close to me

[Chorus 2]
To sleep like a child
To sleep like a child
