I could say a thousand things each one nicer than the last
And tell you how the die will be cast
I could lock your youth away, I could bottle up your laugh
I mean we’ll all need something to breathe in a couple days

With fingers through the holes in your coat
And episodes you know by rote
Remind me how they go

Give me now a chance to settle in
Again, begin

Friend I’ve come to welcome you, it’s the middle of the end
And in the middle of this night, we can pretend
We can make a plan for forty years and a score or more
We can say we know exactly what this has been for

In tales you tell by firelight
We might find some sign of life
With the epilogue in mind

Give me now some room to understand
Maybe hold my hand
And I’ll give you the time to you needed then
To begin again

Within you I find stories untold
Of coming days and worlds of old
Of crashing cars and fates too bold

Give me now the chance to settle in
Again begin
And I’ll give you the time you needed then
To begin again
Give me now some room to understand
Maybe hold my hand
And I’ll give you the space to safely rest
And nothing less

Give me now some sign of life
And I'll give you my time
Give me now some sign of life
And I'll give you my time

Give me now some sign of life
And I will give you mine

Give me now some sign of life
And I will give you mine
Give me now some sign of life
And I will give you mine
Give me now some sign of life
And I will give you mine
Give me now some sign of life
And I will give you, I will give you mine
