All death and died in my old frame
Oh I heard a word from your chest
Come out from within
Take me as I come now
Take me as I will
Take me as an angel
My freedom's gone but I'll shell
I said, all death and died in my old frame
Oh I heard a word from your chest
Come out from within
Any way you want me
Any way at all
Any way you need me, my angel
Oh come just call
And won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, my friend
I'm not dead, but I'm dyin'
So slow, so slow, so slow
Won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, amen
I've been cryin' like a siren
In the mirror
So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold
Any way you want me
Any way you want me
Any way at all
Any way you need me
Any way you need me
And they come, they call
Take me as I come now
Take me as I come now
Take me as I will
Take me as an angel
Take me as an angel
Take me as you feel
In the earliest of mornings
The prayers would come and make themselves my way
Gently like a leaf on top of water harming no one
And that morning when I opened my eyes
It said accepted and then it melted away
When I opened them again it said expected
Dear God reach down your hand and lift me up
And death she said or what it seemed to me was one who got caught in God's riptide
And quickly without realizing you had been pulled out to sea
You looked up and a beach begins to grow faint
As you sink further into its abyss
And soon there's no one around you
And all that surrounds you is blue
Dear God reach down your hand and lift me up
Amen
Won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, my friend
I'm not dead, but I'm dyin'
So slow, so slow, so slow
Won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, amen
I've been cryin' like a siren
In the mirror
So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold
Oh I heard a word from your chest
Come out from within
Take me as I come now
Take me as I will
Take me as an angel
My freedom's gone but I'll shell
I said, all death and died in my old frame
Oh I heard a word from your chest
Come out from within
Any way you want me
Any way at all
Any way you need me, my angel
Oh come just call
And won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, my friend
I'm not dead, but I'm dyin'
So slow, so slow, so slow
Won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, amen
I've been cryin' like a siren
In the mirror
So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold
Any way you want me
Any way you want me
Any way at all
Any way you need me
Any way you need me
And they come, they call
Take me as I come now
Take me as I come now
Take me as I will
Take me as an angel
Take me as an angel
Take me as you feel
In the earliest of mornings
The prayers would come and make themselves my way
Gently like a leaf on top of water harming no one

So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold
