My life is slipping away
Held in the arms of my lover,
He wants me to stay.

But I have to go,
My time is gone,
Like sand through fingers,
Seeping til it’s gone.

The disease has taken me over,
Controls my body,
It’s taking my life,
There’s nothing I can do.

The doctor says it won’t be long.
And this will all be done.
What do I do? Do I turn and run?

He holds me in his arms,
And hugs me tight,
As if to preserve the life that’s so precious,
And has nearly run out.

I feel safe in his arms,
I don’t want to go,
But God’s got me by the hand,
It’s time to leave.

I go to a place,
Where everything’s warm,
I run on the beach,
I laugh til I cry.
There isn’t any pain anymore.

Except for the hole in my heart,
It won’t go away,
Til I’m held in my lovers arms again.

My blood’s turned to poison,
My life is slipping away
Held in the arms of my lover,
He wants me to stay.

But I have to go,
My time is gone,
Like sand through fingers,
Seeping til it’s gone.

The disease has taken me over,
Controls my body,
It’s taking my life,
There’s nothing I can do.

The doctor says it won’t be long.
And this will all be done.
What do I do? Do I turn and run?

He holds me in his arms,
And hugs me tight,
As if to preserve the life that’s so precious,
And has nearly run out.

I feel safe in his arms,
I don’t want to go,
But God’s got me by the hand,
It’s time to leave.

I go to a place,
Where everything’s warm,
I run on the beach,
I laugh til I cry.
There isn’t any pain anymore.

Except for the hole in my heart,
It won’t go away,
Til I’m held in my lovers arms again.
