Dying day

Wait before you turn away
I lie still alive you would not save
I know not what I’ve done wrong
so why am I afraid to sing in grace
why am I not a tear on your face

if I can’t fly back home tonight
I’ll lie here on the shore till the break of day
if I can’t fly back home tonight
I’ll lie here in your arms lie here in your arms till my dying day

day after day is through the mind
see me through eyes that always shine
I know not what I’ve done wrong
so why’d you take away my right to sing
Why don’t you taste the blood on my wing

if I can’t fly back home tonight
I’ll lie here on the shore till the break of day
if I can’t fly back home tonight
I’ll lie here in your arms lie here in your arms till my dying day
