Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So I said to you I'm not free
I got a mountain falling down on me
I got sickness and I've got doubts
All the people wanna scream and shout
[Verse 2]
I'm so tired, I'm always on my knees
And I'm cold, it's always January
[Verse 3]
In this house and on these streets
It's so grey, I can't take it
What happened to the life I knew?
Swept away (Where did you go?)
[Verse 4]
So I said to you I'm busy
I've got jobs to do that would make you dizzy
And I'm juggling all my plates
Living far below my estimate
[Verse 5]
People have for me, I'm always failing
In my family life I'm always trailing
Come to me, you said
Leave your home
They can't kill you in my hands
But if they try, don't take fright
If they're shooting at you, kid, you must be
Doing something right
[Verse 6]
All I want is for a bit of peace
A nice warm house, and for my family
To take me back because you know I miss them
Miss my boys, I miss their mother, I'll kiss them
[Verse 7]
But instead I'm running out of time
Out of air, I fear I must be dying
Come to me, you said
Leave your pain
They can't kill you in my hands
You're my son, you're my love
Gonna catch you gently now
You are with me
[Verse 8]
I got you now
I got you now
I got you now
I got you now
