Gravedigger's Son

Verse 1

I buried that name in the river

Washed the dust off my hands

There's a ledger of sins at the bottom

That the mud understands

Pre-Chorus

Lord I know I can't unring the bell

But I can learn to live with the swell

Chorus

I'm a changed man walking daylight

Old shadows still find me at night

Every scar is a road I recall

I used to be the devil's own blood

Now I'm standing where the honest ones stood

Post-Chorus

Changed man

Changed man

I used to be the devil's own blood

Verse 2

The tavern door knows my old laugh

Every bottle wore my name

I left a trail of bitter goodbyes

And I'm the one to blame

Pre-Chorus

Grace don't wipe the ledger bone dry

But it teaches a cold man to try

Chorus

I'm a changed man walking daylight

Old shadows still find me at night

Every scar is a road I recall

I used to be the devil's own blood

Now I'm standing where the honest ones stood

Bridge

Hallelujah for the long road

Hallelujah for the rain

I won't find my whole forgiveness

But I'll never be that man again

Chorus

I'm a changed man walking daylight

Old shadows still find me at night

Every scar is a road I recall

I used to be the devil's own blood

Now I'm standing where the honest ones stood

Post-Chorus

Changed man

Changed man

Never that man again
