lyrics
If I'm buried by the weight of my mistakes
Or deliverance arrives an hour too late
If St. Peter calls for me now at the gate
Oh darlin'
If life's a test and I've failed it now and then
Or our fates are sealed by the acts of evil men
If the earth decides it's time to start again
Oh darlin'
Hold me tight, one last time
I'll go quietly, satisfied
If I'm buried by the weight of my mistakes
Or deliverance arrives an hour too late
If St. Peter calls for me now at the gate
Oh darlin'
If life's a test and I've failed it now and then
Or our fates are sealed by the acts of evil men
If the earth decides it's time to start again
Oh darlin'
Hold me tight
One last time
I'll go quietly
Satisfied
If the darkness falls and the light fades from my eyes
Or the day comes the sun chooses not to rise
If I've conspired to meet my own demise
Oh darlin'
If I'm beaten down and crawling on the floor
Or the nation states all heed the call to war
If the demons come to stand outside my door
Oh darlin'
Hold me tight
One last time
I'll go quietly
Satisfied
Hold me tight
One last time
I'll go quietly
Satisfied
Hold me tight
One last time
Hold me tight
One last time
Or deliverance arrives an hour too late
If St. Peter calls for me now at the gate
Oh darlin'
If life's a test and I've failed it now and then
Or our fates are sealed by the acts of evil men
If the earth decides it's time to start again
Oh darlin'
Hold me tight, one last time
I'll go quietly, satisfied
If I'm buried by the weight of my mistakes
Or deliverance arrives an hour too late
If St. Peter calls for me now at the gate
Oh darlin'
If life's a test and I've failed it now and then
Or our fates are sealed by the acts of evil men
If the earth decides it's time to start again
Oh darlin'
Hold me tight
One last time
I'll go quietly
Satisfied
If the darkness falls and the light fades from my eyes
Or the day comes the sun chooses not to rise
If I've conspired to meet my own demise
Oh darlin'
If I'm beaten down and crawling on the floor
Or the nation states all heed the call to war
If the demons come to stand outside my door
Oh darlin'
Hold me tight
One last time
I'll go quietly
Satisfied
Hold me tight
One last time
I'll go quietly
Satisfied
Hold me tight
One last time
Hold me tight
One last time
