As Long as I Live

You can’t have it, you can’t have it

You can’t have what you want

You can’t hide it, you can’t hide it

You can’t hide what you are

Under all the overgrowth

Fine land to sow

Beneath these knees, the ground quakes

And calls me by name

But for as long as I live...

You can’t have it, you can’t have it

You can’t have what you want

You can’t hide it, you can’t hide it

You can’t hide what you are

Back then all those years ago

My hand was a hammer, my heart was a stone

That skin’s been shed, been haunted since

By heavy heart, by phantom limb

But for as long as I live...

You can’t have it, you can’t have it

You can’t have what you want

You can’t hide it, you can’t hide it

You can’t hide what you are

For as long as I live

I can’t take back anything
