Roll back the sheets
Your skin slips through my fingers
Slips from your body onto me
Tell another tale
One you're sure I've heard
You look tired, you look older, you look pale
Dreams upon the Alter
Still you do your best
One step back roll forward
And your weight will do the rest
Now you don your gown
With coins on my eyes I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna pay the devil down
Bones, the haunted shell
The waisted skin & bones
The drawstring pulled
These walls, warm flesh and blood
Her eyes are closed
She'll rest now with her love
The dreams are gone
The dreams are gone
