If I could I surely would
Child ease your pain
But if I could no
longer
Would you still know my name?
If I couldn't drain the
tears
That pour from these eyes
Would you turn your back on
me
Would you wave goodbye?
Chorus
Or leave me way beyond empty
inside
Awaiting my last day to arive
Way beyond empty
inside
Awaiting my end to arrive
If I could be the
shoulder
Which your head would rest upon
Would you still be waiting
(mama)
Or would you be gone?
If I couldn't keep the smile
Forever
on your face
Would I still be around
Or would I be
replaced?
(Yeah)
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day
to arive (yeah)
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my end to
arrive
Oh-o
Oh-o-o-o
Oh-o
Oh-o-o-o
Guitar
Solo
(And) Would you promise me
Things they'd never
change
Could you promise me
That things they'd stay the
same?
If I couldn't clear the clouds
From over your head
Would
you keep your word to me
Amongst all the things you said?
Or leave
me way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arive (yeah)
Way
beyond empty inside
(oh-o-o)
Awaiting my end to arrive
Oh yeah
child!
