Everybody's dying now,
I can't hold them together now,
I used to think that I knew how,
But I can't hold myself together now,
I drew a blank in my deck of cards,
It's wisdom was hidden deep,
I tried to pull another card, but instead I fell asleep,
Inside my dream, I'd shake and scream,
The hill ahead, too steep,
I tried to find it, tried to climb it,
But it's wisdom was too deep,
Cause everybody's dying now,
I can't hold them together now,
I used to think that I knew how,
But I can't hold myself together now,
I held your hand in the funeral pyre,
and I told you to hold on tight,
But within your heart was a great desire,
that took you in the fight,
And I gave away my heart that day,
I tossed upon you flowers blue,
There was a fire inside as I cried and cried,
And my tears fell down onto you.
With a fire in our hearts your spirit rose high,
And I saw your figure in the darkest sky,
I let you go, cause in my heart I know,
You were always waiting to die.
Everybody's living now,
I can't hold them together now,
I used to think that I knew how,
But I guess that I'm just living now.
