Please Don't Let Go

it's the warmest of falls

i've hardly noticed at all

the birds are still around

singing peace my little child

there's a crowd in the bar

there's a crowd in the church yard

there's a silence in my heart

while i sing you this prayer

please don't let go of me

went down to the tracks

can't seem to relax

feel a traveling coming on

what else could go wrong

there's hole in the earth

quicksand to mirth

i've played round it since birth

dodged it some but still it hurt

please don't let go of me

there's a big storm comin' round

it might flood or worse better climb to the high ground

if lightning chases me down

i will throw myself into your fate
