about

this song was conceived in columbia,sc and brought to life in newland, nc. my friend jo did a beautiful cover of it which was on a cd that got lost. he changed one of the chords which made it a lot prettier, which i had heard and could have played at the time of this recording, and didn't, but fuck it.

lyrics

i couldn't believe what the doctor said
i buried my head in my hospital bed
my days are numbered,
you can count the months on one hand

i couldn't believe but now i can't deny
in just five short months i must bid you goodbye
my days are numbered,
i'm slipping out of your hands

darlin, it won. it's over and done.
soon i am gonna leave this sad world.
no more questions, except for one,
do you still wanna be this boy's girl?

i'll understand if you don't think you can
stay here with me and keep holding my hand
cos each passing day, i'll fade away a little more

and then the day will arrive when i'll feel my life
slip from my body and into the sky
and you will be there, watching and waving goodbye

darlin it won.
it's over and done.
soon i am gonna leave this sad world

no more questions, except for one,
do you still wanna be this boy's girl?

go turn and run, scream at the sun
tell him he's gone way too far this time
or bury your head into my chest
maybe the best we can do is cry.

this act began in 2004 and just turned fourteen years old. it's been surviving on the fringes of interest since the day it was first conceived. it's worth doing. it's that thing of realising you are your own best friend and you need to take as good of care of yourself as you possibly can and in so doing you learn to take care of everyone else. ... more
