Graveyard Shift

I've been working the graveyard shift No one ever told me it would be like this Sundown til the morning rise Starting my day with a moonlight kiss And I was born on a precipice Between salvation and the great abyss I don't think I can go on like this Putting in time on the graveyard shift I go to work at sundown Pick-axe digging into common ground Night falls but it makes no sound Duty's calling from the underground Now here it comes it comes The setting Sun Time to dig down and see what side you're on Until the dawn the dawn you're soldiering on Every sundown you gotta be reborn Come away, come away, come away Come sit by me and see what I see When I close my eyes at the edge of sleep And we dream on the blade of a knife Following the trail of the afterlife Now here they come The night commuters The midnight hoard The dawn refuters They're all here to settle a score With the phantom limbs and the ghosts of war Here it come it comes The setting sun Time to dig down and see what side you're on Until the dawn the dawn soldiering on Every sundown you gotta be reborn Come away, come away, come away I've been working the graveyard shift Traded night for day Now it's all I can do to stay awake Eyes heavy as the moonlight drifts Time to dig, time to dig And bury my mistakes Bury my mistakes I've been working the graveyard shift No one ever told me it would be like this Sundown til the morning rise Starting my day with a moonlight kiss And I was born on a precipice Between salvation and the great abyss I don't think I can go on like this Putting in time on the graveyard shift Now here it comes it comes The setting Sun Time to dig down and see what side you're on Until the dawn the dawn you're soldiering on Every sundown you gotta be reborn Come away, come away, come away
