Dig A Lover’s Grave Lyrics by Daniel Rodriguez
It can be so hard just to soften up
And melt away my little buttercup
It takes a little time, they say
To dig a lover’s grave
And even though you’re in the dark, you’re in the light
You can’t escape the poison of your mind
It takes a little wine, they say
To dig a lover’s grave
As you hailed your vow of silence
Flowers on the highway
I swore they’d put those crosses for us
When you said I’d never blame you
We left the van and strangers
Have you had enough?
Singing like you mean it
You were happy just to be here
And the audience was small
See behind the curtains they were cheering
you were hurting
It’s the only time you called
Stared into the sea red and green
And every set of taillights looks the same
Takes a little while they say
To dig a lover’s grave
As you held your vow of silence
Flowers on the highway
I swore they’d put those crosses for us
Sing it like you mean it
You were happy just to be here
And the audience was small
See behind the curtains they were cheering
You were hurting
it’s the only time you called
Singing like you needed, you were happy just to feel it and the audience was gone
See inside the shadow, you were staring down the barrel
It’s a long way down before
Singing like you mean it
You were happy just to feel it
And the audience was gone
