All d**h and died in my old frame 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's gone but I'll shell I said, all d**h and died in my old frame 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
The prayers would come and make themselves my way Gently like a leaf on top of water harming no one And that morning when I opened my eyes It said accepted and then it melted away When I opened them again it said expected Dear God reach down your hand and lift me up And d**h she said or what it seemed to me was one who got caught in God's riptide And quickly without realizing you had been pulled out to sea You looked up and a beach begins to grow faint As you sink further into its 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
