Even Sleeping

I want to cry but the tears won't come

There's blood on the ground I think I know where it's from

But my hands are tied as I watch you die

Step away son the worst is past he said

But I can't see her breath she's moving on fast

As the shadowy reaper glides through the trees

He's coming he's coming he's come to steal her away from me

Oh what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding

Oh what would it take

Is it so much to just start breathing

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

I felt a panic but it happened so fast

Was like noon to dusk but only seconds had past

And we're here between seen unseen

I know you're crying at the hospital bed

I felt you pleading when I hoped to hear a smile instead

You can listen to the people and the things they will say

Or you can listen to your spirit saying send me on my way

Oh what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding

Oh what would it take

Is it so much to just start breathing

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

The sun is down it's at it's end

I'll follow you as far as I can

The sun is down but the day won't end

I'll follow you as far as I can

The sun is down she won't mend

I'll follow you as far as I can

The sun is down they say that she won't mend

I can't find you

I can't find you

Oh what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding

Oh what would it take

Is it so much to just start breathing

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me even sleeping

Oh what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding

Oh what would it take

Is it so much to just start breathing
