[Verse 1: Alan Sparhawk & Mimi Parker]

Gentle, middle, quiet, narrow

Careful, measure, tortured, stable

[Refrain: Alan Sparhawk & Mimi Parker]

It doesn’t have to end this way

But this is where we stand

[Verse 2: Alan Sparhawk & Mimi Parker]

Conscious, watching, waiting

Silence, listen, hello, blessing, treading

[Refrain: Alan Sparhawk & Mimi Parker]

It doesn’t have to end this way

But this is where we stand

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Mimi Parker]

Hell could be a colder place

Feel my breath slipping away

It kills me, even so I stay

I will listen to what you say

Hell could be a colder place

Feel my breath slipping away

It kills me, even so I stay

I will listen to what you say

Hell could be a colder place

Feel my breath slipping away

It kills me, even so I stay

I will listen to what you say

Hell could be a colder place

Feel my breath slipping away

It kills me, even so I stay

I will listen to what you say
