As The Light Goes Down
As the light goes down
And it leaves your eyes
I want to call for the doctor
But I'm told no
What do you see?
Where does your heart beat now
Are you running through the fields
I could never give you
Now my soul is racked with pain
And my eyes are almost blind
And my mouth is dry
I call your name
I need to know
To know if you can forgive me
What wouldn't I give
To see your face
And when the sun rises
My legs won't support me
But there's not time for that now
There are some fights you hate to choose
Some battles you can never win
Though I believe you're happy now
What I wouldn't give
One last kiss
One more wish to remember
One more plea
Then a thousand more
If I could pick up the phone
If I could only ring the line up in Heaven
If I could hear your voice again
What number could I call
To have you back home
I lift the weight
It will stay with me a lifetime
With the eyes all upon me
Watching what I do
I feel your heart
It's a memory so real I could scream
Do you remember?
Did I really help you feel better?
The picture is what I have
The perfume still in the bottle
A bed that only held one person
The last place that I saw you
I wanted you to sleep
I hoped it would help you feel better
Now you sleep
I hold my head
I wonder if you remember
Do memories even mean anything
To you now?
The sun's gone down
My soul is filled with pain
I give to you some things I wrote
I walk up the hill holding you
I turn to face the crowd
And say goodbye
