Been given 24 hours to tie up loose ends to make amends
His eyes said it all, I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning round, no time to sit down
Just wanted to run and run and run
Be careful they say, don't wish life away
Now I've one day
And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time
In 24 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing no I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please, do it for me
Is there a heaven, a hell and will I come back who can tell
Now I can see what matters to me
It's as clear as crystal
The places I've been, the people I've seen
Plans that I made start to fade
The sun's setting gold, thought I would grow old
It wasn't to be
And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time
In 18 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing no I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please, do it for me
In 13 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please, do it for me
I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it
And I can't believe, how much I've wasted my time
In just 8 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing no I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please, do it for me
In just 1 hour they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing no I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please, do it for me
