I know in life I won't be Satisfied unless I live My life with you, don't wanna Live one single day apart I hope I die before you do I know in life I won't be Satisfied unless I live My life with you, don't wanna Live one single day apart I hope I die before you do His name was Jake O'brian he was 17 Her name was Olive Finn She was everything to him She never even knew him 'till he Walked up to her with a bouquet of Petunias, and a heart so pure And she was so pretty, he thought she Was the prettiest girl in Kilkenny He saved every penny that he had Working on the train tracks so He could buy a ring for her When he came back, and he dropped To his knee, said you could marry Any man in Ireland madam but it's Got to be me But when she said no He felt he had to go, so he traveled To America on a ferry boat, but Then there was the void, cause she just couldn't live without him She was sick without him So she filled out immigration papers And showed up on his door step 30 days later And said this I know in life I won't be Satisfied unless I live My life with you, don't wanna Live one single day apart I hope I die before you do I know in life I won't be Satisfied unless I live My life with you, don't wanna Live one single day apart I hope I die before you do They had four kids over fourteen years And protected each one from the poor things fierce And protected each other From the city it was so cruel In the back yard watch the summer Weather grow cool And it was so pretty, when fall came It transformed the whole entire city There was so much love' within them That Olive said to Jake I'm a stay with You forever on one condition We're passionate lovers, every night we Sleep with our backs to each other We're half of each other And I don't wanna sleep one night Of my life knowing your aren't next To me hogging half of the covers Promise me you'll let me die first Cause I just couldn't live without You, I'd be sick without you I'd be a devastated lunatic without you You wanna make my life perfect This is how to I know in life I won't be Satisfied unless I live My life with you, don't wanna Live one single day apart I hope I die before you do I know in life I won't be Satisfied unless I live My life with you, don't wanna Live one single day apart I hope I die before you do They got old 80+ years and this was True love not a day was unclear Cause this was true friendship, so even When the kids went to college They kept the romance polished Jake+Olive, knifed in the back yard Oak tree, lemonade, salad Butterscotch, roast beef, you know That old saying pick your poison Well olive was a smoker, and jake He was smoke free, uh So when it came down to it Lung cancer, chest tube Draining all the fluid, olive on her death Bed looked him in the eyes, but she Didn't have to say a thing cause he Already knew it, she closed her eyes And then she went through it Her last few breaths were like irish Folk music, he told the people at the Funeral that they were happy that you Knew us, and covered olive's casket in Petunias And then he went home He didn't feel quite Right sleeping there alone, he was Half of a whole, cracked in the soul He sat there alive but his passion was Dull, he missed olive And he was so sick without her Couldn't live without her So he gave his final will to his Neighbors, fell ill and died exactly 30 days later The immigrants...
