between earth and air there's a spectre or shape
alights at the church and plucks us from the grave
and before we're aware there's a purpose in place
we're carried to heaven by tom waits

i wouldn't be scared if i knew how it all ended

no i wouldn't say no...

the force of the air pins our arms to our sides
or it would if we'd not left our bodies behind
i won't feel the earth as it falls on my face
we're saved from the grave by tom waits

oh gone are the days when we knew what we all should say

no i wouldn't say no...

oh dark is the night and corrupt is the soul
but we're safe in his arms when we go
i won't let the dark in to swallow me whole
no we're safe in his arms when we go

no i wouldn't say no...
