One Foot In The Grave - Lyrics - Vigilantes Of Love

Now the brakeman calls down To us folks in the car below He say "The next stop is yours I'll bring your speed down slow" So I gather up my bundle My weariness and a sense of pride That's been running long past empty since I took this long train ride I've got one foot in the grave You always thought you had it made One foot in the grave The mirror holds a lonely face One foot in the grave Regrets are like the pennies I saved One foot in the grave of love Now I peer out over the edge To a canyon river far below You know i'm deathly scared of heights And I cannot swim a single stroke I don't recall if I was pushed I don't recall if I tripped or fell There were devils all around me But an angel just as well Now the train has come and gone And I'm left here with unspoken words Got my eyes on the horizon I'm stretching every nerve Now they cannot take your city When He's armed and standing at the gate And they cannot storm your feeble heart When your hope dissipates
