I've been high I've been down My head in the clouds And my hands in the ground In the arms of the woman I found my way home And in the arms of the woman I have been lost When Im so lost that this losing feels like dying I hope you'll be by me then When Im so lost that this losing feels like dying I hope you'll be by me then As a young man I was afraid Of my life Oh what would I make I will make Iove What will I hate What better sweet road will I choose to the grave And if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying I hope youll be by me then Cuz if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying I hope youll be by me then I'm sick of you, sick of me I'm sick of war, and I'm sick of peace I'm sick of sound like I'm sick of silence I grow sick of the darkness 'til I'm sick of the light When, I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying I hope you'll be by me then Well, I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying I hope you'll be by me then x 2 Once as a boy, I saw what happened I saw them beat him down to the cold cold ground I watched those big boys cut that man down And I was too weak, too weak to take a stand When, I'm so weak that this weakness has me dying I hope you'll be by me then When, I'm so weak that this weakness feels like dying I hope you'll be by me then But if I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying I hope you'll be by me then So I will live as I see fit And there will be those who will not like it But in the arms of a woman I found my way home So to the arms of a woman I will go And if I'm old til this oldness has me dying I hope you'll be by me then If I'm old 'til this oldness has me dying
