I wanna tell you a story Ain't got no characters in it but me I wanna sing you a sad song Most of it I don't expect you to believe It starts off just the whiskey and wine Some miles of travel and some real good times But it ends in a dark corridor Where there ain't no windows and there ain't no doors Well that's me Just a' drinkin off this bottle and a'driftin out to sea Well that's me Just a' sittin here starin and a' shakin like a leaf Well that's me Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams Yeah that's me Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams I wanna take you to a shipwreck A thousand miles underneath the Black sea Looks like everybody's sleeping But look close they are dead indeed I wanna lead you to an armchair Deep back in the files of my mind I wanna sit you in the candle's light Where I've been spendin all o' my time Well that's me Just a' drinkin off this bottle is it drinkin' off of me Well that's me Just a'sittin here starin and a' shakin like a leaf Well that's me Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams Yeah that's me Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams
