You sat me down and told me We'd be alright You said we were the only Good guys That we carried the light In our aching bodies That we carried the light
Down…
And the ashes fall On the children's faces On their names and races And here, at the end of time You will find us waiting On the seashore fading
I asked you if you'd leave me You said you'd never go But you lie there still In your dying body But you lie there still
Down…
And the ashes fall On the children's faces On their names and races And here, at the end of time You will find us waiting On the seashore fading
We're still trying We're still trying We're still trying We're still trying to live
