I’ll Not Rise Again

With tired eyes and worn out fears

I’ve brought you pain and brought you tears

But beat the hearts of heinous men

I’ve fallen hard not to rise again

It’s days like these that fill my thoughts

With wanted ease, not found but sought

Now darlin’ go far from my reach

So your sweet heart I’ll never breach

I’ve been in love and forced alone

And I’ve taken all the best of both

But in the end I’ll write a note

And it shall cast my final vote

It’s days like these that fill my thoughts

With wanted ease, not found but sought

Now darlin’ go far from my reach

So your sweet heart I’ll never breach

So tie me tight to my chair

So I will stay and harm no one there

And in the end when lookin’ back

Say to yourself, “He tried at last”

It’s days like these that fill my thoughts

With wanted ease, not found but sought

Now darlin’ go far from my reach

So your sweet heart I’ll never breach

So your sweet heart I’ll never breach
