Dying To Live - The Clarks

Father did you take your medicine

You’ve got a long day ahead

And maybe a hard night

So tell me bout the mills you worked again

Now you’re engineering friends

Over a hot lunch

The blessed people from the church

They’re all asking how you work

They are the good ones

And I told them you were…

'Cause you told me you were…

You were dying to live

Drunk with the wind

On the day your soul will leave your skin

You’ll be…

Dying to live

You take and you give

When you see the world is closing in

You’ll be… dying

Dying to live

Choke down your next dose of medicine

Magic elixir or a poison

Crushed in a paper cup

Sometimes you speak a little low

Turn down my talk

Tell me bout the war in '45

And those planes you used to fly

They were the big ones

And I told them you were…

'Cause you told me you were…

You were… dying to live

Drunk with the wind

On the day your soul will leave your skin

You’ll be…

Dying to live

You take and you give

When you see the world is closing in

You’ll be… dying

Dying to live

Dying to live

Dying to live

Dying to live

Morphine as the last medicine

There’s no going home again

Sorry that I missed your last breath

I was blessed

You were… dying to live

Drunk with the wind

On the day your soul will leave your skin

You’ll be…

Dying to live

You take and you give

When you see the world is closing in

You’ll be… dying, dying

Dying to live

Drunk with the wind

On the day your soul will leave your skin

You’ll be… dying

Dying to live

Dying to live

Dying to live

Dying to live
