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 don't get back up well on my 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 hand's 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, 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 hand's 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, whoa-oh-oh

Go, go, 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 hand's 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
