| Don’t let me go
|
| It’s a terrible world to be all alone
|
| Don’t let me fall
|
| I don’t get back up well on my own
|
| Own, own, own-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| Own, own, own-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| Promise me you’ll always be my love
|
| You won’t tear me down when my bones grow cold
|
| With our hands in the dirt years down the road
|
| I’ll lie with you, won’t you lie with me, my love
|
| Don’t let me go, don’t let me go, my love
|
| Don’t let me drown
|
| 'Cause it’s a long, long way to go, my friend
|
| And all of my pain will try to weigh me down
|
| In the end, end, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| End, end, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| So please carry me when I’m weary
|
| And I will tend to you when you are tired
|
| Because you’re bound to me
|
| And I am bound to you
|
| You, you, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| You, you, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| And promise me you’ll always be my love
|
| You won’t tear me down when my bones grow cold
|
| With our hands in the dirt years down the road
|
| I’ll lie with you, won’t you lie with me, my love
|
| Don’t let me go, don’t let me go, my love
|
| Soon when we rise
|
| To the pearl gates, waiting hand in hand
|
| In Saint Peter’s eyes
|
| Ask us: are we ready to go?
|
| Go, go, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| Go, go, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| Promise me you’ll always be my love
|
| You won’t tear me down when my bones grow cold
|
| With our hands in the dirt years down the road
|
| I’ll lie with you, won’t you lie with me, my love
|
| Don’t let me go, don’t let me go, my love |
