Breathe ever so slightly that I might crumble
And I can feel the absence
Sleep tight, a baby's lonely cry
Parents lowly mumble
He'll be gone soon, said
He'll be gone soon
Live with a fire in your eyes, knowin' that I lie
Lie adrift in rest at night, wanting more for you
Live to see a better day, go your own way
Wait 'til you could seize the day, my babe
Nothing has killed you yet
Let's get down to the bets
Breathe ever so slight
That I might make it through the night
