One Foot In The Grave - Jamie's Elsewhere

For so long I have waited

For this sense of urgency

For as long as I can remember

I’ve always been the type

Of person to just give in

I want to run just as fast I came in

I want to have the chance

To flee the scene

And to find peace

Oh, it’s so hard to find relief

With this excess sensitivity

To the crimes that have been

Committed to others, not only me

How long must I wait

Til I’m at peace again?

And how long must I wait

Til I am whole again?

Oh, how long must I wait

Til I’m at peace again?

And how long must I wait

To see your face again?

I’ve got one foot in the present day

And one foot in the grave

But, it’s your grace that gives us

The second chances that we don’t deserve

And that we take for granted
