| Trying to stay alive
|
| Trying to stay alive to it all
|
| Dying just a little
|
| Every time the leaves fall
|
| The river freezes over
|
| The warblers pass through
|
| Dying just a little honey
|
| Who takes care of you?
|
| Trying to stay awake
|
| Long enough to hear
|
| Those late night songs
|
| Dying just a little every time
|
| You sing along
|
| You hear all their confessions
|
| You tell them what to do
|
| Dying just a little honey
|
| Who takes care of you?
|
| Trying to stay a while
|
| And just watch the deal go down
|
| Dying just a little
|
| Every time they try to kill
|
| Your little town
|
| Your babies move away
|
| But they come back home to you
|
| Dying just a little honey
|
| Who takes care of you?
|
| Trying to keep your heart open
|
| Wide enough for everyone
|
| Dying just a little every time
|
| It comes undone
|
| Or froze up like a mailbox
|
| With the letters trapped inside
|
| Kind-hearted woman
|
| Just trying to stay alive |
