Your eyes are cold
Your head is down
thinking that way
Makes Your lips frown

You stand on the
brink of the day
Tween here and gone
And now and there


What will you do
Before you're gone
Do you yet know
It's almost dawn

Where will you go
Until time's end
What will you show
To death, your friend


So please don't think
Don't think about
Eternal sleep
Fading away
For if you do
Then you shall be
Think of what
you will leave

Please think of those
who'll always care
What will they be
Without you there

So think of us
Your family
And how we changed
Your entire world

We'll pull you through
These hardened times
Into the light
Of this new day

So hold our hands
We'll hold to you
We won't let go
Until it's through

So please don't think
Don't think about
Eternal sleep
Fading away
For if you do
Then you shall be
And slip away
Before the day

Before the day
