I died so many years ago
you can make me
feel like it isn't so
But why you come to
be with me
I think I finally know
mmm
You're scared
ashamed of what
you feel
And you can't tell the
ones you love
you know they
couldn't deal
A whisper in a
dead man's ear
it doesn't make it real
That's great
but I don't want to play
'Cause bein' with
you touches me
more than I can say
But since I'm only
dead to you
I'm sayin' stay away
And let me rest
in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love
and bury it in a hole
six foot deep
I can lay my body down
but I can't find my
sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know you
got a willin' slave
And you just love to play
the thought that you
might misbehave
But 'til you do
I'm tellin' you
stop visiting my grave
and let me rest in peace
I know I should go
But I follow you
like a man possessed
There's a traitor here
beneath my breast
and it hurts me more
than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat
it would break my chest
but I can see you're
unimpressed
So leave me be
and let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and
bury it in a hole six
foot deep
I can lay my body down
but I can't find my
sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
let me rest in peace
