Lyrics:

We can all agree it's a mixed bag for the living
Full of sorrow, full of grief
I ransacked the place for the single thought that could comfort me
Something small, something sweet
It was once in the spring, you were on the porch, heard you singing
From inside, sat and listened through the screen
Now it's the time, the last liferaft leaving my mind
As it sinks out of sight
Would you stay for a while – put your gnarled hands into mine?
Hold me down
Feel so light, I could just float away
(Just don't let me go to sleep)
So long, my sweet
Maybe next time that we meet
We'll be whole, we'll be weightless, we'll be free
(Don't let me go to sleep)
(Just don't let me go to sleep)
(Just don't let me go to sleep)

(Out of time and out of place)
(From the mortal coil delivered)
(To the great expanse found in the space)
(Between celestial fissures)
(Whether the sick or soft of mind)
(Whether horibly disfigured)
(You shed your clothes, you jump the boat)
(And joined us in the river)
We were born in the shadow of a callous certainty
Since no one has returned from behind the curtain
I guess we all just have to wait and see
We built a tall ivory tower, tallied hollow victories
But for all the noise and violent toys
Our strength was in the moment when we were weak
(Out of time and out of place)
(From the mortal coil deliver)
(To the great expanse found in the space)
(Between celestial fissures)
(Whether the sick or soft of mind)
(Whether horibly disfigured)
(You shed your clothes, you jump the boat)
(And joined us in the river)
