Graveyard Shift Lyrics - Collider - Sam Roberts

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
