Lord Huron - Dead Man’s Hand lyrics

rate me

It aligns in the dead of the night

Oh, I was headin' back a place(?!)

Tryna keep my eyes opened wide

I've gone days without any rest

Saw a man in the road looking back

About twenty yards ahead

You come back from the city east

But you don't come back from the dead

Sure as hell he was dead as it comes

And he was already startin' to smell

Just to keep with his hair slit back

And the knife tucked under his belt

Was he unforgivin', just tryin' to live in life

But never felt like this

Oh, I was wrung and worried I saw a devil

And the little sorceress saw the bezel in his eyes

I've lied him down in a grave in the sand

And he gripped my arm with his dead man's head

He said, 'I know I'm dead but I don't wanna die'

'In a grave out here where coyotes cry'

I stared right into the endless void

And I ain't goin' back if I got any choice

I know how to leave, I know how to die

And there ain't no thrills in the afterlife

So lift me up out here my friend

And I won't end up to the ages end

Lit by the moon he walked through the sand

And he waved goodbye with his dead man's hand

And he'll all forever haunt in the desert

And he'll all forever haunt in the desert
