Take care of yourself because we might be leaving town.
And only cancer and loneliness now can keep me from you.
I'll take what time I've been given and watch it slip from the palms of your hands.
Only love can keep us together, pick up the pieces and put them back in your hands.
Take care of your health because you might be checking out.
And only cancer and loneliness now can keep me from you.
The prettiest girls in the state, all made up and sagging with weight, well, nobody told them they'd be alone tonight as the lights go out.
You know they would do anything to take another stab at the past.
But I wouldn't worry about that.
As long as I've got you in my arms, not even death can do you harm.
