Lyrics
On My Right
She's afraid of dying?her knees shake
And me, I'm vacant in disbelief
She looks to me for comfort, for meaning, for strength
Another pill, a sip of whisky
Can't walk alone, my love
Can you carry me?
On through the night, no time to grieve?
Lately I can look through her skin, spent and frail
Maybe she's got a month to breath, a week, I just can't tell
She woke up at 3 am, God-given sparkle in her eye
Smiled and said, one last trip, then let's kiss and say goodbye
You sleep, I'll drive
Hold on tight
Forever in my heart and on my right
Memories don't die
Angel fly
Forever in my heart and on my right
She woke up on the ocean at daybreak,
With me, remembering everything
She looks to me for closure, forgiveness, for faith
Bite my lip, offer no sympathy
It's time for me to move on my love
Smile when you think of me
Peace, sweet release
Powerless my anger, constant fist into the jaw
Nothing could fix her, innocent victim, the deepest cut of all
Ask me why I look so tired, grey and lost
My heart died with the only love I every lived for
You sleep, I'll drive
Hold on tight
Forever in my heart and on my right
Memories don't die
Angel fly
Forever in my heart and on my right
