|
| [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] |
|
