I will try not to breathe, I
can hold my head still
With my hands at my knees
These eyes are the eyes of the
old. Shiver in the cold
I will try not to breathe,
this decision is mine.
I have lived a full life and
these are the eyes,

Oh--------------, I need
something to fly

Over my grave again--- I need
something to breathe.
I will try not to burden you,
I can hold these inside.
I will my breath until all
these shivers subside.
Just look in my eyes.
I will try not to worry you, I
have seen things that you will never see.
Leave it to memory me; I
shudder to breathe.
I want you to remember
Oh, (you will never see) I need something to fly (something to fly)
Over my grave again (you
will never see);
I need something to breathe (something
to breathe).
Baby, don't shiver, now (I
have seen things you...),
Why do you shiver now? (...will
never see)
I need something to fly over
my grave again
(I have seen things you
will never see)
I need something to breathe
Em Am Em Am Em
I will try not to worry you, I
