Names I Buried Twice

Intro

Verse 1 There's three of them I see at night Every one I buried right Took the shovel, took the time Walked away without the rhyme

Pre-Chorus But the dirt don't stay where I left it And the wind keeps speaking back And the ground don't keep what's in it And the years don't fill the crack

Chorus Names I buried twice, names I buried twice Once in the dark and once in my head Once with a spade and a borrowed prayer Once when I sleep and they ain't dead

Verse 2 Charlie was the easy one Lit a cigarette when it was done Tom took longer, took the south road Took a piece of me he never showed

Pre-Chorus But the dirt don't stay where I left it And the wind keeps speaking back And the ground don't keep what's in it And the years don't fill the crack

Chorus Names I buried twice, names I buried twice Once in the dark and once in my head Once with a spade and a borrowed prayer Once when I sleep and they ain't dead

Bridge Some folks pray and the dead stay still Some folks pray and the silence kills Some folks bury and walk away I keep burying every single day Names I buried twice, names I buried twice Once in the dark and once in my head Once with a spade and a borrowed prayer Once when I sleep and they ain't dead Once when I sleep and they ain't dead
