Peace on the shore Just a man coming to the end Waves on ice Barely half the size Of the flood he had seen Then nature came Out of a winter's lethargy Paradise when right through his eyes It was just memory Take my life tomorrow Will you please allow me delay Need a day I belong anyway To the night He'd used to be Faster than any other man Where'd it gone cause the final sum Couldn't run to a name His broken frame Straightened when He called up the man Of the past that's not made to last He would disdain to believe Take my life tomorrow Will you please allow me delay Need a day I belong anyway Frozen and tired and weak was his body He did not seem to worry Only one thing can Be of avail and This is the hope to stay
