Lyrics

Bare feet on the cold cobbled causeway,
shine from the lighthouse, it guides her way.
Feel the bitter cold, biting at her heels,
praying for a sign, shouting upwards, she kneels.

Her mind as calm as the crashing water,
given up now, the lamb to the slaughter.
Forgetting what her mother taught her.
Are you listening my sweet, sweet daughter?

Without a second thought, she follows the tide.
Hair captured in wind; her body baptised.
Numb to the cold, walking in with fearful eyes,
trying to escape a life she had come to despise.

Into the embrace of Mother Nature, she cries.
In a chorus of thunderous skies, she replies,
echoing her mother’s evening lullabies,
are you listening now sweet child of mine?

Oh, I know that life can get so hard,
every mistake, it leaves you scarred.
The road ahead seems so dark,
care for your soul fallen to disregard.
I promise you, you’ll find the shore,
you’ll come to know what living is for,
Just give me one day more!

And as the salt is picking at the skin,
she pushed them all away, never let them in,
now she’s standing alone at the water’s edge,
because she can’t escape voices loud inside her head.

Suddenly a hand is placed upon her shoulder.
A voice cut through the noise trying to console her.
Whispering words as arms tightly hold her.
Are you listening my sweet, sweet daughter?

Oh, I know that life can get so hard,
every mistake it leaves you scarred.
The road ahead seems so dark,
care for your sole fallen to disregard.
I promise you, you’ll find the shore,
you’ll come to know what living is for,
Just give me one day more!

It’s all I’m asking for…
Just give me one day more!
It’s all I’m asking for…
Just give me one day more!

Oh, I know that life can get so hard,
every mistake it leaves you scarred.
The road ahead seems so dark,
care for your soul fallen to disregard.
I promise you, you’ll find the shore,
you’ll come to know what living is for.
Just give me one day more!
It’s all I’m asking for.
