Prayer For The Dying
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.
Fearless people
Careless needle
Harsh words spoken
And lives are broken
Forceful ageing
Help me I'm fading
Heaven's waiting
It's time to move on
Crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you
Life carries on, it goes on
Just say die
And that would be pessimistic
In your mind
We can walk across the water
Please don't cry
It's just a prayer for the dying
I just don't know what's got into me
Been crossin' that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
It goes on
I'm crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Cause life carries on
It goes on
It goes on
Life carries on
When nothing else matters
When nothing else matters
I just don't know what's got into me
It's just a prayer for the dying
For the dying
