|
All of my life, I've been waiting for you, |
|
Come lay down your head, rest in my arms, you're free tonight |
|
You're in the yes of those whose luck has run out |
|
A tender end to a life of descent |
|
Every lawman knows that you cannot be argued |
|
Even despots know that when they die, you'll rule still |
|
You're supreme, immutable, unchanging |
|
You're never failing through the ages |
|
You are the usher at the unknown portal |
|
You stand silent among the din and clamor |
|
All of my life I've been waiting for you |
|
With open arms, I'll come running towards you |
|
You're supreme, immutable, unchanging |
|
You're never failing through the ages |
|
You're more constant than the stars |
|
Because the change their paths with the seasons |
|
You're more constant than the Moon |
|
Because she hides her face in the shadows |
|
You're more constant than the sun |
|
Because one day her embrace will melt the earth |
|
You're more constant than the gods |
|
Because sometimes when we call, they don't answer at all |
|
All in all, we end the same |
|
(Come lay down your head, rest in my arms, you're free tonight) |
