(Andrew Ranken/Jem Finer)
|
You got to weep
|
You got to wail
|
|
You got to drag yourself on hands and knees bleeding
|
Another mile along the trail
|
You got to laugh in the face of the devil
|
When he's haning on to your shirt tail
|
You got to hold down the lind of the coffin
|
And hammer in the last nail
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
My baby's gone so far away
|
She's never coming back to me
|
|
You to live
|
You got to learn
|
How to find your way to the end of the night
|
When there's nowhere left to turn
|
How to keep the last embers of the fire alight
|
When there's nothing left to burn
|
How to say goodbye to the ashes that fly
|
From the cheap metal urn
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
She said go to sleep
|
You got to save
|
Your anger and rage for the living
|
'Cuase they're no damn good in the grave
|
And don't waste your time in forgiving
|
The ones who just don't know how to behave
|
There's heaven and hell in the world that you live in
|
But I'm in a different place
|
|
[Chorus]
|
