Over the day I would listen I would play And far beyond the dawn you left a message of slight alarm So all the answers came and how they ran me down And you were nowhere to be found And all the pleases left beyond the waterfall It left us wanting every wall Please drop the gun You never wanted allison Please drop the gun You never needed allison I was afraid it was the end of the day And I had to run I saw a spot forming on the sun But I could feel the touch before it reached his chest And I knew what was best But I refused to believe it could be true Then all the colors saw it too Please drop the gun You never wanted allison Please drop the gun You never needed allison So I found a key You know they say its darkest just before the dawn But not a warning of how long So if you'll please forgive my own simplicity I'll continue to be free Please drop the gun You never wanted allison Please drop the gun You never needed allison
