Chaos all around me
With it's finger clinging
But I can hear you singing
In the corners of my brain
Every doubt has found me
Every sound of grows drier
Everything is quiet
But the song that keeps me sane
I can hear you're voice
Echoe in my voice softly
I can feel your strength
Reinforcing mine
If you fear I'll lose my spirit
Like a drunkard's wasted wine
Don't you even think about it
I'm feelin' fine
Mmmhmmm
I can hear your voice
Echoe in my voice softly
I can feel your strength
Reinforcing mine
If you fear I'll lose my spirits
Like a drunkard's wasted wine
Don't you even think about it
I'm feelin' fine
Mmmhmmm
