The song ‘You’ve Pa...
[Verse 1]
The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away
And I wanted to hold you
As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
When your eyes were alive and awake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
[Chorus]
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please, oh don't go away
[Verse 2]
I wanted to know you
Before you started to fade
But I gave everything to
A lie and a farce and a fake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
[Chorus]
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please, oh don't go away
I'd like to see you when all of these angry days flow away
You’ve Passed was written by Jeff Mangum.
