Gone to Stay

歌詞

How many heartaches do you think you can stand I used to count 'em all on the fingers of just one hand Way back in the distance before these sad times began Now I'm down by the ocean counting grains of sand There's nothing so pure as the kindness of an atheist A simple act of unselfishness that never has to be repaid And there's nothing so sure as a razor blade above your wrist When you think you just can't stand it You're gonna leave empty handed Do you still dream of being saved Friends and relations they all stand around As the casket is lowered down into the ground The shovel dirt and gravel - all his mother hears is the sound Of a little baby crying somewhere in the crowd Jesus wouldn't save you and you cried I knew I couldn't save you so I lied The doctors couldn't save you but I do believe they tried After dying together we die alone side by side There's nothing so pure as the kindness of an atheist A simple act of unselfishness that never has to be repaid And there's nothing so sure as a razor blade above your wrist When you think you just can't stand it You're gonna leave you empty handed Do you still dream of being saved
