From the recording Bruises Become Bronze
Lyrics
A friend told me you were here
Here’s a card
I hope that you get well
I see you lyin’ there
Barely hanging on
Yeah, you look like hell
I know that death seems close
But don’t you dare
Give up the ghost
‘Cause life cannot own you
This world ain’t your home
It’s true that love will prevail
After all
Kings and queens fall
But love, it’s immortal
And I pray someday
You hear the Savior call,
“Come home.”
Well, I haven’t known you that long
But still, you’re a brother to me
So I wrote you this song
Yeah, maybe it’ll help you sing
I know that death seems so close
But don’t you dare
Give up the ghost
