Am Em Am
How long can this journey go on?
F G Am
Will I find the place I'm meant to go?
F Am
Will dreams fall down around us, just like the winter snow?
Am Em Am
Another year has come and gone
F G Am
Will my luck hold on for one year more?
F G
I think of how far I have come, and what's been left behind
[Refrão] Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
Am Em Am
When will they carry my body down?
F Am
Will they take it from the river after I've jumped right in and drowned?
F G
Will they find it on the battlefield, on the spot I stood my ground?
I walk alone, I walk apart. Someday, I'll wander no more.
I search to find what I have lost and that which I've never known.
And when I find that I have gone across that river I know,
I'll take only my memories, and things that might have been.
[Refrão]
When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
Will they cut it from a hangman's noose after the sentence has come down?
Will anyone be there to morn a villain's passing to the ground?
