| It’s a struggle just to stay alive
|
| A brute force wind keeps us huddled inside
|
| While the ship is going under
|
| The violence will tear us asunder
|
| And the land is too far away, land is too far away
|
| Would you, please, promise me
|
| You’ll come back to stay
|
| Before you’re too far away?
|
| There’s a time in every person’s life
|
| You think you’ve got it figured like 3−4-5
|
| But now the city’s burning down
|
| To the sea or higher ground
|
| But the sea is too far away, higher ground’s far away
|
| Would you, please, promise me
|
| You’ll come back to stay
|
| Before you’re too far away?
|
| When the sea rises up to swallow you
|
| The wind so cold it hollows you
|
| A new day will dawn just to keep up the fight
|
| In the end you’ll know whether you were right
|
| We were never going down for the count
|
| We were always going all ten rounds
|
| 'Cause our dreams aren’t too far away
|
| Our dreams are not far away
|
| Would you please promise me
|
| You’ll come back to stay?
|
| You’re never too far away |
