I know you had to go alone
Well, it's been long enough,
I'm gonna need you back at home
And I know you say you love me,
but I know you live to roam
Think it's time I better let you go
Yeah, I think it's time I better let you go
So hang him from the gallows
The only time his heart shines
And with a flask inside his pocket,
he's gonna drink it all away
Cause this pan is full of ink
Hell I think it's time I better let you go
Where will you ever be back home
We'll only be the shadow of a ghost
So I collected all his postcards
and I read them one by one
And day by day, day by day,
well, he traveled on and on
The only thing I never knew
was that he was on the run
Just running from his fears
But together, I just figured
But I'm afraid that I'll know
The next time that you show
We'll only be the shadow of a ghost
Well, the night had come upon
that I'd never soon forget
All I got was a midnight call,
found out my boy was dead
Found on a northern river
while he was floating on his back
Yeah, they say that he was
So, will you be back home, my love?
But I'll find you on the other side
And I'll hold you so damn close
For now, I'll travel every place you
went searching for your ghost
And every night I'll stare up at stars
and I'll hold you so dam n close
For now I think it's time
Yeah, I think it's time I'd better let you go
