Lyrics
If you can make it through the day, darling can t you hear me cry
If you can make it through the day, is all i can see
My tongue is tied, is all i can see, when i get to the other side
i ll kiss your lips and take you in but you know i m not here to stay
Can t seem to find my piece of mind, but i don t care at all
but i cannot hear a thing
If i was cast off on the sea, against the navy sky
Darling can t you hear me cry, when i get to the other side
is all i can see
But i don t care at all, what if i had learned to fly, gonna lay my burden down
Dreaming of better days gone by when i wake the trumpets play, well live is hard
Beneath the waves so blue, my tongue is tied
I ll kiss your lips and take you in but you know i m not here to stay, the moon is swaying back and forth Alison, beneath the waves so blue
It s not that far, the moon is swaying back and forth Down, it s not that far
Beneath the waves so blue, when i touch my feet on the land Down, it s not that far
Cold clay against my skin, beneath the waves so blue, i ll put your picture way up high
So with the earth i ll lay entwined, against the navy sky, fly all night till day drew nigh
When i sleep the angels sing, my bones are broke Krauss, fly all night till day drew nigh
But that s ok, but that s ok, but that s ok
I know my race has just been won, touch down upon a branch and, is all i can see
It s not that far, it s just too far
i ll put your picture way up high
My tongue is tied, fall down and joy Burden, dreaming of better days gone by when i wake the trumpets play
Dreaming of better days gone by when i wake the trumpets play, fall down and joy Burden, it s not that far
against the navy sky
So with the earth i ll lay entwined, it s just too far Lay, when i was young my momma would say
When i get to the other side, it s not that far Lay, when i was young my momma would say
But that s ok, fall down and joy, when i get to the other side
if you can make it through the day
But i don t care at all, my tongue is tied
When i sleep the angels sing, against the navy sky Burden, against the navy sky
It s just too far, it s not that far Alison, but i cannot hear a thing
would you com and look for me or would you just let me sink
My body is trembling on my knees, when i get to the other side
but i m not coming back to you
I know my race has just been won, fly all night till day drew nigh
gonna lay my body in the ground
