His hands are clenched
|
His knuckles white
|
He got a gun
|
And gave up the fight
|
When I found out
|
I couldn't even cry
|
Well I am now
|
And I'm tryin' to figure out why
|
I'll save it for you
|
You save me from me
|
And the hole in my head I can see
|
Tell her I love her
|
Tell the kids that I loved them
|
Oh, it's a bad dream
|
I've got only time
|
Yeah, it's a bad dream
|
I've got only time
|
You know it's a bad dream
|
I've got only time
|
I wish it was a bad dream
|
I wish it was a bad dream
|
'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah
|
He lies awake
|
With saddened eyes
|
Sleeping babies
|
Keeping him alive
|
I'll save it for you
|
You save me from me
|
And the hole in my head I can see
|
Tell her I love her
|
Tell the kids that I loved them
|
Oh, it's a bad dream
|
I've got only time
|
Yeah, it's a bad dream
|
I've got only time
|
You know it's just a bad dream
|
I've got only time
|
I wish it was a bad dream
|
I've got only time
|
I wish it was a bad dream
|
'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah
