#27 Lyrics

I've been high, and i've been down
My head in the clouds and my hands in the ground
In the arms of a woman, I found my way home
In the arms of a woman, I have been lost
When I'm so lost that this losing feel like dying
Hope you'll be by me then
When I'm so lost that this losing feels like dying
Hope you'll be by me then

As a young man, I was afraid
Of my life, what would I make?
I will make love, what will I hate?
What bittersweet road will I choose to the grave?

And if I'm old 'til this oldness have me dying
Hope you'll be by me then
Oh yes, if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
Hope you'll be by me then

I'm sick of you, and I'm sick of me
I'm sick of wars, and I'm sick of peace
I'm sick of sound like I'm sick of silence
I grow sick of the darkness 'til I'm sick of the light
When I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying
Hope you'll be by me then
Yeah, when I'm so sick that this sickness have me dying
Hope you'll be by me then
I hope you'll be by me then

Once as a boy I saw what happened
I saw them beat him down
To the cold, cold ground
I watched those big boys beat that man down
And I was too weak
Too weak to take a stand
When I'm so weak that this weakness has me dying
Hope you'll be by me then
When I'm so weak that this weakness has me dying
Hope you'll be by me then

If I'm old 'til this oldness feels like dying
I hope you'll be by me then

So I will live as I see fit
And there will be those who will not like it
But in the arms of a woman, I found my way home
So to the arms of my woman, I will always go

And if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
Hope you'll be by me then
Cause if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
