Don't Let It Die This Way
By Derek Jevens

When at night I fall asleep
Your the only one I see
Looking back for me

When at night I lie awake
Wondering if you're okay
I wait for you

In the dark I'll find my way
Home to you
Dont let me die away
I need you
Some things that I have done
Were wrong you know
You saw the best in me
You're gone

When the ground beneith my feet
Starts to shake from underneith
My hands grasp onto the earth

When the sky above my head
Fill with clouds and thunderheads
I cast an eye to the sky and still

All I see is rain falling
Onto the ground
And I feel the earth somehow
Calling my name
Some things that I have done
Were wrong you know
You saw the best in me
You're gone

You only have one life
Dont die this way
Find another road to
Plod along on
Tell me dont you see
That you're the best for me
Oh please dont die
Let it die on me

All I thought of love
Just wasn't true
All I ever thought was
I needed you
Now I see the things
That I wish I had done
Who would ever think
That love could be fun

Dont let it die this way
Dont let it die this way
Dont let it die this way
Dont let me die this way

[TSTBand]

Great Song!, and sorry about your loss :-(

I'm sure your friend would have loved your music :-)

[roxley2007]

He did love it. He used to be the first one I'd share a demo with.

[solacemoon4]

I love this song so much Derek it's beautiful.

[axelthecrow]

It's reminiscent of both the night sky and somewhere only we know, the latter more noticeble during the chorus. It's really good though, I love the voice, and the way the high notes sound on your voice

[roxley2007]

Yeah, another musical inspiration!

[roxley2007]
