It's amazing With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight I kept the right ones out And let the wrong ones in Had an angel of mercy to

But right now I'm on this lake shore And I'm sittin' in the sun I'm sure it'll hit me When I walk through that door tonight Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite Yeah, I'm gonna miss her And I love to fish

You, wake up, where's the tomb? Will easter come, enter my room? The lord weeps with me Toll no bell for me father But let this cup of suffering pass from me Send me no shepherd to heal my world But the angel, the dream foretold Prayed more than thrice

Sleepy time, and I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low A cloud of eiderdown Draws around me Softening a sound And the candle dies When night comes down You lock the door

Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning and clear through the night You can feel my strength destroy you straight to the heart from the venomous bite I can't regret, can't escape decisions made for me, no control That burns and never dies,
