| You said, «Young man, don’t rely on a sword
|
| Cause your words will outlive even time.»
|
| I’ve counted my blessings. |
| The rest are for you
|
| Please listen close for a while
|
| And breathe, breathe, deep for me James
|
| Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain?
|
| I’ve heard about heaven for years
|
| Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James
|
| I’m fine with you here
|
| I made the mistake once of fearing an end
|
| Is this life that we live just the world’s accident?
|
| Not a chance, so I move on with a smile
|
| Are you surprised where you are?
|
| So breathe, breathe, deep for me James
|
| Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain?
|
| I’ve heard about heaven for years
|
| Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James
|
| I’m fine with you here
|
| I grew up slow on the heels of the rest
|
| Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest
|
| And I don’t feel like crying today
|
| Why can’t we talk for awhile?
|
| And breathe, breathe, deep for me James
|
| Don’t you feel that you’re free now from pain?
|
| I’ve heard about heaven for years
|
| Can’t be sure where you are, wander on blessed James
|
| I’m fine with you here
|
| You said, «Son, just listen to me.»
|
| But I’m doing fine, James
|
| So you can sit back and just breathe
|
| And it’s time now to let yourself go
|
| Hold us close, spin the dream
|
| The curtain will fall but behind it I see that you’re here |
