[00:07.00]
[00:10.02]Gonna lay my burden down
[00:15.20]Lay my body in the ground
[00:21.21]Cold clay against my skin
[00:24.93]But I don't care at all
[00:27.23]
[00:30.48]Can't seem to find my piece of mind
[00:35.85]So with the earth I'll lay entwined
[00:41.73]Six feet underground
[00:45.56]My feet are warm and dry
[00:48.69]
[00:52.36]When I get to the other side
[00:54.67]I'll put your picture way up high
[00:58.78]But I'm not coming back to you
[01:01.30]It's just too far
[01:03.69]
[01:13.87]If I was cast out on the sea
[01:19.15]Would you come and look for me
[01:24.92]Or would you just let me sink
[01:28.66]Beneath the waves so blue
[01:31.59]
[01:34.82]What if I had learned to fly
[01:39.81]Fly all night till day drew nigh
[01:45.75]Touch down upon a branch and
[01:49.50]Scan the crowd for you
[01:53.47]
[01:56.29]When I touch my feet on the land
[01:58.62]I'll kiss your lips and take you in
[02:02.63]But you know I'm not here to stay
[02:05.18]It's just too far
[02:08.32]
[02:10.66]Darling can't you hear me cry
[02:12.99]My bones are broke
[02:14.22]My tongue is tied
[02:17.01]The moon is swaying back and forth
[02:19.52]Against the navy sky
[02:21.48]Is all that I can see
[02:23.46]My body is trembling on my knees
[02:27.03]Just have a little mercy on me
[02:30.34]Run away and hide
[02:34.58]
[02:38.77]When I sleep the angels sing
[02:43.89]But I cannot hear a thing
[02:49.78]Eyes closed
[02:52.28]Dreaming of the better days gone by
[02:56.50]
[02:59.61]When I wake the trumpets play
[03:04.68]And I'm standing at the gates
[03:10.55]Fall down the joy I know
[03:14.16]My race has just been won
[03:17.74]
[03:20.93]When I was young my mom would say
[03:23.32]Well life is hard, but that's OK
[03:27.37]If you can make it through the day
[03:29.94]It's not that far
[03:34.50]No, it's not that far
[03:38.95]
