#27

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been high, and I've been down

My head in the clouds and

My hands in the ground

In the arms of a woman

I found my way home

In the arms of a woman

I had been lost

When I'm so lost

That this losing

Feel like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

When I'm so lost

That this losing

Feel like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

As a young man, I was afraid

Of my life, what would I make?

I would make love, what will I hate?

What bittersweet road

Will I take to my grave?

And if I'm old

'Til this oldness have me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

Oh, when I'm old 'til

This oldness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

I hope you'll be by me then

Sick of you

And I'm sick of me

I'm sick of wars

And I'm sick of peace

I'm sick of sound

'Til I'm sick of silence

Oh, sick of the darkness

'Til I'm sick of the light

When I'm so sick

That this sickness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

I hope you'll be by me then

Oh, when I'm so sick

That this sickness have me dying

I hope you'll be by me then

Once, as a boy

I saw what happened

I saw them

Beat him down to the cold, cold ground

Watched those big boys

Beat that man down

I was too weak to make a stand

When I'm so weak

That this weakness

Feels like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

When I'm so weak

That this weakness

Feels like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

When I'm old

'Til this oldness

Feels like dying

I hope you'll be by me then

So I will live as I see fit

There will be those who will not like it

But in the arms of a woman

I found my way home

So to the arms of a woman, I will go

And if I'm old

'Til this oldness has me dying

I hope you'll be by me then
