Kevin Morby - Amen lyrics

On death and dying, my old friend
Oh, I heard a word from your
Chest come out from within
Take me as I come now, take me as I will
Take me as an angel, my freedom is mine
But I'll share
And they said: On death and dying
My old friend oh, I heard a word from your
Chest come out from within
Any way you want me, any way at all
Any way you need me, my angel, oh, come
Just call

And won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, my friend?
I'm not dead, but I'm dyin'
So slow, so slow, so slow
Won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me? Amen
I've been cryin' like a siren in the mirror
So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold

Any way you want me, any way you want me
Any way at all
Any way you need me, any way you need me
And they come, they call
Take me as I come now, take me as I come now
Take me as I will
Take me as an angel, take me as an angel
Take me as you feel

In the earliest of mornings
A phrase will commonly make it'self my way
Gently, like a leaf on top of water
Harming no one
And that morning, when I opened my eyes
It said "Except death" and
Then it melted away
When I opened them again
It said "Expect death" dear God
Reach down your hands and lift me up
"And death" she said
"always seemed to me as one who
Got caught in god's riptide
Quickly, and without realizing you are
Being pulled out to sea
The laughter from the beach
Begins to grow faint
As you sink further into it's abyss
And soon, there's no one around you and all
That surrounds you is blue"
Dear God, reach down your hand and lift me up
Amen

Won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me, my friend?
I'm not dead, but I'm dyin'
So slow, so slow, so slow
Won't you say a prayer for
Won't you say a prayer for me? Amen
I've been cryin' like a siren in the mirror
So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold
