Atlas - revisited

Lyrics for Atlas - revisited

Gently waking A final skyward sigh Please, send me safely home It's almost time Goodbye Lay me down The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page Fragile Atlas He carries that old smile He will stay his weary arms To just lay down a while Lay me down The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page No! Won't accept that's the way I go (By my) quiet hand, sinking slow Won't accept that's the way it ends (Won't you) stay like stone and mend I'll wear the words like Atlas Never said the day I chose to stay And oh, I wish I could have shared A fraction of the peace that I found then My friend The ocean at my window Here, here I find myself again All broken bones and eyes that wear their age Like going home is etched on every page
