lyrics

throw away your knives
and your new telephones
the power of your love
is etched in my bones

one day we two
will be written in the sky
and if you can't find the words
it's okay to cry

there's just one beginning
and a multitude of ends
and when I am dead
I will meet up with my friends

sorrow abounds
and guilt shames us all
and our hair changes colors
like the leaves in the fall

you can run from sin
but if you run far enough
you'll run into it again
and if your room starts to spin
I will see you then

sit and enjoy this time
while you can
all that you have
is the hand in your hand

strength will uphold you
but it comes from within
and you will be heard
above the noise and the din

I've learned too much
to fit into this note
it spills out my ears
and the holes in my coat

life will continue
it needs to be said
it needs to be sung
it needs to be read

you can run from sin
but if you run far enough
you'll run into it again
and if your room starts to spin
I will see you then

please don't remember
my face or my name
I don't need your accolades
or your honor
or your fame

but please, hold on to
the love that I shared
whenever you're hungry
or tired or scared

please, hold on to
the love that I shared
whenever you're hungry or
naked or tired or
scared

you can run from your grief
but if you do that
you're just another thief
you can run from your grief
but I warn you,
the days are brief
