Deadman - Ghost Story lyrics

A weary man with haunted eyes Showed up at my door last night He said he was a friend of mine His face had changed since he'd done his time I let him in for a little while After a drink he began to smile And laughed and said the world's his prison cell Somewhere between heaven and hell Somewhere between heaven and hell I'm waiting for the day to come I'm waiting for the day to come The wind howled and began to moan The lamp flickered and the house groaned The pressure changed my hands grew cold As I remembered the story the locals told About a man who will visit you With haunted eyes to collect his due He was a tax collector like Matthew And if he comes he comes for you And if he comes he comes for you This is a holy place This is a holy place Well, I prayed for an angel to break the day I prayed for a way to find escape I'm crying out loud I want to die Praying for the light to see the signs to see the signs I slowly tried to excuse myself Went for the keys on the back bookshelf And when I went to turn around He was standing there holding the keys in his hand He said, "You think you can get away Don't you know this is judgement day?" And I said, "I won't except that fate" I had no time to hesitate I had no time to hesitate This is a holy place This is a holy place And if he comes he comes for you And if he comes he comes for you And if he comes he comes for you And if he comes he comes for you
