Chase McBride - When the Wicked Go to Sleep lyrics

Take me down deep Where the ocean weeps Under blue skies Where the sailors go to die She ain't got money But she's got my soul She keeps it locked up Hidden under floorboards Dusty little boy Running in the street Kicking up dirt Screaming like he broke his knees Well I turned sixteen Bought a brand new gun I took it outside And tried to shoot the sun Will I always run away Waiting for the love to change Will she always come to me Late at night when the wicked go to sleep So I walked downstairs With a bird in my hand Saying, "We're not gonna get there, we're not gonna get that" She took me by the arm And lead me out back Down to the river with a smile and a soft laugh Will I always run away Waiting for the love to change Will she always come to me Late at night when the wicked go to sleep The river ran quick The water flows swift But we walked through Like two birds of a feather She set me down soft And I brushed off The grains in her hair She laid me down right there Will I always run away Waiting for the love to change Will she always come to me Late at night when the wicked go to sleep
