These days I pay the touch In debt to a previous crutch Good money cracked my back To help me sleep through dreams I lost I want to make peace with you It's been too long And you've held me in your grip Or I'm out past fixed Each night when I retire I look out the back door alone Count every star so bright I'm waiting there for a new dawn Oh won't you make peace with me It's been so long That I've held you in my grip Oh I'll be gone and come Make peace with this It's been too long That we've been held in a fix Oh now I'll be done Holding out my hands A woman told me to bear Weakness or hope and life's strength Nervous I spoke too much Endowed with all I once loved Tried to fill the space That I now find is the reason I ache Oh I want to make peace with you It's been too long And you've held me in your grip Or I'm past fixed Oh won't you make peace with me It's been too long That I've held you in my grip So come make peace So come make peace with me
