In January 2018 we knew something was wrong. When your partner of that many years is sick, you can feel it in your own body, in your own heart. We didn't think it could be cancer, no one did. We didn't think he'd be dead within the year.
lyrics
Oh this road is dark, and I know not where it leads me
And though we've come so far I never thought you'd leave me
This way, please stay
And take me in your arms, take me to a place with no story but ours
Hold me to your chest, let me rest in the tender stillness of your breath
Oh this weight is heavy and I know not what you carry
And though I know you're strong, I need your love to guide me
What'll I do without you?
Please take me in your arms, take me to a place with no story but ours
Hold me to your chest, let me rest in the tender stillness of your breath
Oh sickness, oh darkness, be gone
I've seen you too many times before, this time is wrong
And if you must take, then take what you must, leave him in peace
Oh please.
Let me take you in my arms
And take you to a place with no sorrow, no harm
Hold you to my chest, let you rest
In the tender stillness of my breath
