Don't Go, My Love

Your hand is light inside mine The machines keep counting time

I say your name like a prayer

You stare past the ceiling

I break where I stand (ahhhh)

I see the fight leave your eyes But I won't let night

decide

If breath becomes a thread

I will hold the line (hold

on)

Don't go,

my love Stay where I can reach you

Don't go,

my love I am not ready to lose

If the sky calls your name

I will beg it to wait

Don't go,

my love (please stay) I count each rise of your chest

Like coins I cannot spend

You smile through fever and fear

I taste goodbye again

(I can't) (I know)

Don't go,

my love Fight through the fading

Don't go, my love Your heart is still blazing

I would trade every year For one more dawn with you here

Don't go,

my love (I'm here)

I won't release you Not to the cold

If I must leave you

Carry me home

Tear heaven open Keep saying my name

Don't go

Don't go Don't go,

my love

Take me instead

Remember me breathing Don't go,

my love (ahhhh)

Sleep now, my love The room is finally still I'll keep your

name alive Where the morning spills Don't go,

my love But if you must,

go gentle (hummmm)
