I thank you so much for that
We saved a few more, so stick around
ย
If only for my tongue, if only for my mouth
Find my words to speak, dribble out four words
ย
And it waited in his skin, buried deep within
It buried Lillian, and now it waits, waits for him
ย
And the day has arrived, a civil war inside
The cells, they multiplied
Da-di-da, da-di-da
ย
Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
God and medicine take no mercy on him
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
Enough is enough, he's a long way from home
ย
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
I flew far away, as far as I could go
Your time is running out, and I'm a long way from home
ย
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
You're right next to me, but you're a long way from home
ย
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
More morphine, the last words you moaned
At last, I was sure that you weren't far away from home
