From the recording Backbone
Lyrics
When the clock struck 2, I woke up next to you, in a crescent moon so clear. In that early light, you make me think that I have died and gone right here. I have died and gone right here. There's a cold night breeze, so I pull you tight to me, and it's heavenly as hell. To be at your side, makes me think that I have died and lived to tell. I have died and live to tell.
That my tombstone lies in the stone blue eyes of the soul who lies with me. Don't hold your breath, I ain't holding out for death before I rest in peace.
The moonlight spreads to the pillow of the bed, and I give your head a kiss. And it feels so right, you make me think that I crossed over into this. I crossed over into this.
And my tombstone lies in the stone blue eyes of the soul who lies with me. Don't hold your breath, I ain't holding out for death before I rest in peace.
When I leave this world, don't you weep for me, my girl, if the gates of pearl don't shine. I could die today; paradise, it ain't a place. It's just a state of mind.
When I look up high, there's a show up in the sky, and our seats tonight? Front row. It's a real fine sight; it makes me think that I have died a happy ghost. I have died a happy ghost.
And my tombstone lies in the stone blue eyes of the soul who lies with me. Don't hold your breath, I ain't holding out for death before I rest in peace.
