Sandbone Ghosts

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] I left with dust on my boots And a name on my sleeve Young enough to believe I'd be back by November We moved by dead moonlight Through the teeth of the sand Holding steel in our hands Like a prayer in the dark Every mile took a brother Every dawn took a friend I learned loss had a hand And it never lets go [Pre-Chorus] Now the night gets crowded With the men I knew I hear them in the scrub grass Calling through and through [Chorus] Sandbone ghosts, won't leave me Sandbone ghosts, they need me (come on home) Sandbone ghosts, around me Sandbone ghosts, they found me (stay with me) [Verse 2] There was Rico from Denver And the kid called Ray We were laughing at rain That we hadn't seen in months Then the sky split open And the world went white I still feel their hands On my back in the dust Now my kitchen goes silent When the house should breathe And a chair in the hall Always shifts by itself [Pre-Chorus] I lock every door But they pass right through Boots on the tile floor Like they used to do [Chorus] Sandbone ghosts, won't leave me Sandbone ghosts, they need me (come on home) Sandbone ghosts, around me Sandbone ghosts, they found me (stay with me) [Bridge] I told my mother, "I'm fine" With a mouth full of lies But I see them in mirrors By the edge of my eyes They're not here to hurt me They're here to ask Did I carry their names All the way back? [Breakdown] Day and night Day and night I was made of grit I was made of night Day and night Day and night Every step I took Was a burnin' light [Final Chorus] Sandbone ghosts, won't leave me Sandbone ghosts, they need me (come on home) Sandbone ghosts, around me Sandbone ghosts, they found me (stay with me) Sandbone ghosts, I hear you Sandbone ghosts, I'm near you (I made it home) Sandbone ghosts, forever Sandbone ghosts, together (we're not alone) [Outro] When the wind starts talkin' I don't run no more I set one more place By the screen door For the boys in the desert For the lost, for the brave I came back with their shadows And I learned how to stay
