Hannah Cartwright - Gallows Strung lyrics

[Verse 1] She tied a rope around your neck And led you through the town With love that's like the gallows Strung, but she'll never cut you down [Verse 2] When you left, the Sun went out Walk in fields of grey And I will wear my feather crown Turn the night to day [Verse 3] You said my name, but the devil came With her black eyes and paper cut smile You said, "My love, has it been so long? Won't you stay a little while?" [Verse 4] I said, "No chance, the devil won't dance Or run with the wolves in the wild I've had my fill, my way with your will Leave me here, leave me here," [Chorus 1] "To sleep like a child To sleep like a child To sleep like a child To sleep like a child To sleep like a child." [Bridge] You asked me silently, to keep your secrets close to me You asked me silently, to keep your secrets close to me [Chorus 2] To sleep like a child To sleep like a child
