knife it seems gonna lift away, wounded
in my head a crazy way
i'm on my feet just another day, wounded
tonight i dream about a different way
*i don't want to go away
i don't want to leave today
the man and the woman and the one named moon
i don't know how to make nothing stay
i don't want to go away
i don't want to leave today
the man and the woman and the one named moon
don't know how to make nothing stay
don't know how to make nothing go away*
close to home but i'm on my knees
i never let the sun know where i'm gonna be
what i say and what i see
doesn't really matter when i am not free
far from 'line with a hand in the ground
i want to see the moon just once stay around
still life can never be found
