Even Sleeping

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 a panic but it happened so fast

Was like noon to dusk but only seconds had passed

We're here between seen, unseen

I know you're crying at the hospital bed

I felt 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

And 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

Stay with me, stay with me

(Oh, what would it take)

Stay with me, even sleeping

(To keep you here in my arms bleeding?)

Stay with me, stay with me

(Oh, what would it take)

Stay with me, even sleeping

(Is it so much? Is it so much?)

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?
