Murder by Death - Alas lyrics

Maybe you're right i'm no good
Got a heart made of glass and
A head made of wood let me make it clear
When I'm gone, I'm gone
The night's just the night and
There's no coming dawn

When shall I return? I confess I don't know
What's around the bend what's left to unfold
I could promise you the moon
Brought down with a lasso
I need to stay but alas I must go

Back in the stark woods behind your old house
I buried something that'll leave you no doubt
Something to prove myself to you
Half is a lie but the good part's true

When shall I return? I confess I don't know
What's around the bend what's left to unfold
I could promise you the moon
Brought down with a lasso
I need to stay but alas I must go
Or maybe you should move on
And I'll go it alone

Out in the barren field where we first met
Full of decay from a life in the red
Oaths that I broke the money I spent
Couldn't make it work
Couldn't even make rent
All the people I forgot that I knew
That I met maybe my life will repay the debt

I need to stay i need to stay
I need to stay but alas I must go
I thought you wanted me to stay
But you need me to go i just want to say
Now I finally know

Alas, I must go alas, I must go
Alas, I must go
