Hear the sirens, hear the circus so profound
I hear the sirens, more and more in this here town
Let me catch my breath to breathe and reach across the bed
Just to know we're safe I am a grateful man
This life has been a light and I can see you clear
Have to take your hand, and feel your breath
for fear this someday will be over
I pull you close, so much to lose
knowing that nothing lasts forever
I didn't care before you were here
I danced with laughter with the ever after
But all things change. Let this remain.
Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
The sound echoing closer, will they come for me next time?
For every choice, mistake I've made, it's not my plan
to send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand
It's a fragile thing, this life we lead
If I think too much, I can get over-
whelmed by the grace by which we live
our lives with death over our shoulder
Want you to know that should I go
I always loved you, held you high above too
I study your face, the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away Aa aa Aa aa Aa aa Aa aa
