#27 (I Hope You'll Be By Me Then) - 06/07/08 Busch Stadium St. Louis

I've been high and I've been down

My head in the clouds, my hands in the ground

In the arms of a woman, I find my way home

In the arms of a woman, I have been lost

When I'm so lost that this losing feels like dying

Hope you'll be by me then

When I'm so lost that this losing feels like dying

Hope you'll be by me then

As a young man, I was afraid

Of my life, what would I make?

I will make love, what will I hate?

What bittersweet road will I choose to the grave?

And if I'm old till this oldness has me dying

Hope you'll be by me then

Yes, if I'm old till this oldness has me dying

Hope you'll be by me then

I'm sick of you and I'm 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 till I'm sick of the light

When I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying

Hope you'll be by me then

When I'm so sick that this sickness has me dying

Hope you'll be by me then

I hope you'll be by me then

Once as a boy, I saw what happened

I saw them beat him down to the cold, cold ground

I watched those big boys beat 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

Hope you'll be by me then

When I'm so weak that this weakness has me dying

Hope you'll be by me then

If I'm old till this oldness feels like 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 my woman, I will always go

And if I'm old till this oldness has me dying

Hope you'll be by me then

If I'm old till this oldness has me dying
