Duvall - They Won't Let Me Go lyrics

rate me

I sat in my armchair<br />

And listened politely<br />

As you tried to invite me<br />

But the answer was no<br />

And the distance between us<br />

Can never be crossed now<br />

And I'm calling out for you<br />

But they won't let me go<br />

They won't let me go<br />

<br />

The people around you<br />

A crowd without number<br />

All beautifully singing<br />

And dressed up like snow<br />

Can noone believe me<br />

With one drop of water<br />

I'm calling out for you<br />

But they won't let me go<br />

They won't let me go<br />

<br />

And I'm crawling for the table<br />

Melting like snow<br />

And they won't let me go<br />

<br />

I wish I could drown down here in this ocean of light<br />

I wish I could close my ears to the chorus of Christ<br />

I wish I was blind<br />

But I can't close my eyes<br />

I can't close my eyes<br />

<br />

The fire is freezing<br />

It burns without breathing<br />

I'm down in the darkness<br />

Where nothing can grow<br />

Eternally knowing<br />

I've chosen to be here<br />

I'm calling out for you<br />

But they won't let me go<br />

They won't let me go<br />

<br />

And I'm crawling for the table<br />

Melting like snow<br />

And they won't let me go<br />

They won't let me go
