[Instrumental Intro]



[Verse 1]

When they broke your body

They broke your mind

But with broken spirits you have always tried

I watch you sleep, I watch you fade

I will always keep the light on even, even though you can't stay



[Chorus]

And you sing to me, you say

I don't want to be awake when it takes me

I can't wait to see you smile on the other side

I can't wait to kiss the face of the big sky

Won't you stay here for a while with me

My child



[Verse 2]

And you're losing your vision, and you're going blind

What starts out in the night time follows you in the morning light

I watch you sleep, I watch you fade

I will keep the light on as you change even, even though you can't stay



[Chorus]

And you sing to me, you say

I don't want to be awake when it takes me

But I can't wait to see you smile on the other side

I can't wait to kiss the face of the big sky

I don't want to say goodbye to you, my child



I don't want to be awake when it takes me

I won't ever change my mind

I can't wait to kiss the face of the big sky

Won't you stay for a while with me, for a while with me

My child
