Son What have you done? You're caught by the river You're coming undone Life You know it can't be so easy But you can't just leave it Cause you're not in control no more And you give it all away Would you give it all away now? Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Son What are you doing? You learned a hard lesson When you stood by the water You and I Were so full of love and hope Would you give it all up now? Would you give in just to spite them all? Cause you give it all away And you give it all away now Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Cause you give it all away And you give it all away now Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Lay I lay in the long grass So many people So many people pass Stay Stay here and lie on back Get down in the cornfields Stay till we're caught at last Give it all away Give it all away now Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart And you give it all away Would you give it all away now? Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Would you give it all away? Would you give it all away? Would you give it all away? Give it all away Give it all away Give it all away Give it all away
