All of It, All

A coward this morning, black after backing away
And no explanation could ever explain it away
But could your bones be so bright? And would it all be all right?
If you laid down tonight with me, safe beside

The thing about lifetimes is sometimes you have to be cruel
It's sad that it's sad, but don't let that dampen you
No, to live you must die, yes and more than one time
You must kiss it goodbye and never go back to that life

Your arms can be magic, it all can be magic, you know
You always can have it, but not like you wanted, I know
There is only one way, there is only one way
You must give it away, I mean give it all away

Your hands got fingers, your fingers muscles
Your muscles they pull and pulling
They told you how someone once told me
We'd always be pulling along along along along
