Lyrics Mark Lanegan

Mark Lanegan

The Gravedigger's Song

With piranha teeth

I've been dreaming of you

And the taste of your love, so sweet

Honest, it's true

Through my heart flows sleep

And the dark, heavy rain

Where the gravedigger's song is sung

You've been torturing me

Tout est noir, mon amour

Tout est blanc

Je t'aime, mon amour

Comme j'aime la nuit

Love, is the medicine good?

Is the crow flying eight miles high

Over wire and wood?

Shovel down six feet

With a head heavy pain

The magnolia blooms so sweet

And it fades just the same

To the stars, my love

To the sea

To the wheels, my love

'Til they roll all over me

Oh love, I've been thinking of you

With razor white teeth, so sharp

Honest, it's true

In my blood flows sleep

And the dark heavy rain

The magnolia blooms so sweet

Only torturing me

To the stars, my love

To the sea

To the wheels, my love

'Til they roll all over me
