Lyrics

Prayer For The Dying

[Verse 1]

A prayer for the dying

For the waves coming in

And washing the edges

The edges away from within

[Chorus]

Your heart

My heart

Your heart

My heart

[Verse 2]

A prayer for the dying

For the sun coming up

To fill all the corners

So misunderstood

[Chorus]

Of your heart

My heart

Your heart

My heart

Of your heart

My heart

Your heart

My heart
