Lyrics: Angelo De Augustine
Music: Angelo De Augustine
Where do you run when your life's on the line?
Nowhere to cling to, to focus your mind
Noise in your brain, words on the page
Bury the needle past marrow and bone
Relax into meadows 'neath stars dead and gone
To cope with your loss and pay off the cost
Though, my love, there was no place to hide
We both know that you tried
Look down from above, find the ones that you loved
And keep them safe, keep them sound
Keep them deep in your heart
You read all the masters and verses of rhyme
In joining them, you left us before your time
But time is a waste, youth preserved on your face
They say you hung from the boughs of the pines
An empty shell for your lover to find
Though they said six months you've been dead
You're still alive in my mind
Lay down and rest, your head on my chest
I'll keep you safe, keep you sound
Keep you deep in my heart
