LYRICS

In a place where the days slip past
like the desert sands through your hands
In a land where the nights are lost
Like a wandering soul as black as coal

Come inside there’s a place for you in here, my friend
Have a drink, stay a while and forget that this is the end

In a world where the sky is gray
Like the bones of the dead, or cold, cold lead
By the side of a winding road
Past the silent graves, where the widow raves

Come inside there’s a place for you in here, my friend
Have a drink, stay a while and forget that this is the end

You can see shadows all around
Like the ghosts of friends the devil sends
Through the haze of the smoky room
A form stood there, but you don’t care.

Turn the lights down low, don’t you know? There is no place to run.
But you smile and you laugh for a while ‘cause at least you had fun.
