Don't Let Me Go

Don't let me go It's a terrible world to be all alone Don't let me fall I'll get back up well on my own Own, own, whoa-oh-oh Own, own, whoa-oh-oh Promise me you'll always be my love You won't tear me down when my bones grow cold When the hands in the dirt years down the road I'll lie with you, won't you lie with me, my love Don't let me go, don't let me go, my love Don't let me drown 'Cause it's a long, long way to go, my friend All of my pain will try to weigh me down In the end, end, whoa-oh-oh End, end, whoa-oh-oh So please carry me when I'm weary And I will tend to you when you are tired Because you're bound to me And I am bound to you You, you, whoa-oh-oh You, you, whoa-oh-oh And promise me you'll always be my love You won't tear me down when my bones grow cold When the hands in the dirt years down the road I'll lie with you, won't you lie with me, my love Don't let me go, don't let me go, my love Soon when we rise Two pearly gates, waiting hand in hand St. Peter's eyes Ask us: are we ready to go? Go, go, whoa-oh-oh Go, go, whoa-oh-oh Promise me you'll always be my love You won't tear me down when my bones grow cold When the hands in the dirt years down the road I'll lie with you, won't you lie with me, my love Don't let me go, don't let me go, my love
