Lyrics

Big hands, veins strain against the skin
Even when he was a younger man
Big hair, well, not any more
Dark clumps fall from a scalp that I've never seen before
Spread thin
But he'll live, right?
He'll win, right?
And it won't, right?
But if he's got to go
Please at least let him die slow
Crooked smile cracks open like the sun
Teeth crowding in that face I love
Bright eyes still crinkle and shine
His strength is mine
And I'm almost fooled that he'll be alright
Spread thin
But he'll live, right?
He'll win, right?
And it won't, right?
But if he's got to go
Please at least let him die slow
A good man, kind, gentle, quiet, and strong
A lullaby, lyrics slightly wrong
String arms throw me through the air
Or hold me tight on a strange kerbside
Fighting through the tears
Spread thin
But he'll live, right?
He'll win, right?
And it won't, right?
But if he's got to go
Please at least let him die
Please at least let him die
Please at least let him die
Big hands etched in my mind's eye
On my neck as I walk beside
Big hair, tokens I'll hold to my chest
But there's so much left
Fragment of the whole
Spread thin
But he'll live, right?
He'll win, right?
And it won't, right?
I know he's got to go, but
Please at least let him die slow
Let him die slow
