Kevin Morby - The Dead They Don't Come Back lyrics

On my way to work, I noticed that
I passed a cemetery, oh Lord
I held my breath dead they don't come back
Dead they don't come back
Dead they don't, the dead they don't
Dead they don't come back

And on my way to school
I passed that old graveyard
Life is mighty lonely and life is mighty hard
Dead they don't wake up
Dead they don't wake up
Dead they don't, the dead they don't
Dead they don't wake up

Oh, I am on a ride
Measure the distance in time

I can see your teardrops behind that black
Black veil made me hope for heaven and it
Made me scared for hell
Dead they all will sleep
Dead they all will sleep
Dead they all, the dead they all
The dead they all will sleep

And from time to time, I think about my grave
When I'm gonna have one and
What's it gonna say it feels good to rest
It's been a long long day
It's been a long, it's been a long
It's been a long long day

Oh, I am on a ride
Measure the distance in time
And as sure as I was born i will die

And on my way back home
Stopped at your tombstone
Said a prayer for you, I was tired and alone
Said, Lord
I miss my friend who's underneath my feet
May her soul, oh may her soul
Oh may her soul rest in peace
