Hear the sirens, hear the sirens Hear the sirens, hear the circus all go found I hear the sirens more and more in this here town Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bend Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear I could take your hand, and feel your breath For feel that someday this will be over I pull you close, so much to lose Knowing that, nothing lasts forever I didn’t care, before you were here A distant laughter, with the ever after But, all things change, let this remain Hear the sirens covering distance in the night The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me, next time? For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan To send you in the arms of another man And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, If I think too much, I can’t get over When by the grace, by which we live Our lives with death over our shoulders Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too I studied your face, the fear goes away It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, If I think too much, I can’t get over When by the grace, by which we live Our lives with death over our shoulders Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too I studied your face, the fear goes away, The fear goes away, the fear goes away
