Songtext
I know you're sinking deeper
Every breath a straining gasp
And I know you're wishing
"Please Death, just make this breath my last"
But there's life out there for living
My friend, we will not give in
Take these words, and let the light in
We'll give you everything worth giving
I heard a story from a friend about you just last night
About you swinging by your neck there in the softly fading light
Man, you've gotta call, you've gotta write, you've gotta leave
Get back to all your friends and all the places you should be
You're too lonesome man, I get it, I've been there once before
I know you're sinking deeper
Every breath a straining gasp
And I know you're wishing
"Please Death, just make this breath my last"
But there's life out there for living
My friend, we will not give in
Take these words, and let the light in
We'll give you everything worth giving
I've sailed the stormy seas
I've felt my heart rise in my throat
I've thought of leaving all my friends and
And thought of letting go
But, I found life left in these limbs
And found the strength to start again
I found my heart right in my hands
And found relief in all my friends
Don't give up
Don't give up
(But) I found life left in these limbs
And found the strength to start again
I found my heart right in my hands
And found relief in all my friends
But there's life out there for living
My friend, we will not give in
Take my words and let the light in
We'll give you everything
I know you're sinking deeper
Every breath a straining gasp
And I know you're wishing
"Please Death, just make this breath my last"
But there's life out there for living
My friend, we will not give in
Take these words, and let the light in
We'll give you everything worth giving
