Even Sleeping - Children 18:3

I want to cry

But the tears won’t come

There’s blood on the ground

I think I know where it’s from

But my hands are tied

As I watch you die

«Step away, son, the worst is past,» He said

But I can’t see her breath, she’s moving on fast

As the shadowy reaper glides through the trees

He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s come to steal her away from me

Oh, what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding?

Oh, what would it take?

Is it so much to just start breathing?

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

I felt the panic but it happened so fast

Was like noon to dusk but only seconds had past

We’re here between, seen unseen (seen unseen)

I hear you crying in the hospital bed

I hear you pleading when I hoped to hear a smile instead

You can listen to the people and the things they will say

Or you can listen to your spirit saying, «Send me on my way»

Oh, what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding?

Oh, what would it take?

Is it so much to just start breathing?

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

The sun is down, it’s at its end

I’ll follow you as far as I can

The sun is down, but the day won’t end

I’ll follow you as far as I can

The sun is down, she won’t mend

I’ll follow you as far as I can

The sun is down, they say that she won’t mend

I can’t find you

I can’t find you

Oh, what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding?

Oh, what would it take?

Is it so much to just start breathing?

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

Oh, what would it take

(Stay with me, stay with me)

To keep you here in my arms bleeding?

(Stay with me, even sleeping)

Oh, what would it take?

(Stay with me, stay with me)

Is it so much, is it so much?

(Stay with me, even sleeping)

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

Stay with me, stay with me

Stay with me, even sleeping

Oh, what would it take

To keep you here in my arms bleeding?

Oh, what would it take?

Is it so much to just start breathing?
