about

We hold this song particularly close to us.
The story of a loved one painted the only way we know to paint.

lyrics

A story about a shot in the dark.
A man and woman with bright red spark
From the beginning.
She knew what she was giving.
It was nothing but her lonely heart

Girl I wish there was a way.
For me to take away the pain
But you know
I can't stay

I promised her everything would be okay
But with grim eyes she'd see me
As I looked away
Oh father, please tell me now
What should I do
When these drugs start to fade
(She's still too young for you)
Please don't take her with you
Take my life in her place

Girl I wish there was a way.
For me to take away the pain
But you know
I can't stay

Now their eyes all, but grey
Slowly close and pray
Please take her with you
It's a slim chance she'll make it through
It's a slim chance, she'll make it

You Can't make me let go of this hope.
There's a chance i'm willing to take.
Father God oh i beg won't you please
save this life that you're willing to take.

She will make it through.

Girl I wish there was a way.
For me to take away the pain
But you know
I can't stay
