lyrics

Flew home against a gentle wind
Returned with artefacts and dusty shoes again
The next day I reached down within
Confessed my privilege and ironed out my sins

That Wednesday you seemed terrified
Thought you would pass away right before our eyes
And from the hospital I lied
Said I was okay but I prayed for one more night

Hold on to what you've got while it lasts
Let go if you’re ready or not when they pass
Someday we’ll all be welcomed back
No longer buried in the past

And from her bed we came to you
Your casket dominates the room
Just like my inherited doom
Choked my words through Jerusalem

Our most collected family
In years and years in front of me
Why do we drift away like this?

Hold on to what you've got while it lasts
Let go if you’re ready or not when they pass
Someday we’ll all be welcomed back
No longer buried in the past

Won’t miss those chances to get those answers again
Won’t miss those chances to say those goodbyes again
Won’t miss those chances to ask those questions again
Won’t miss those chances to say those goodbyes again

Hold on to what you've got while it lasts
Let go if you’re ready or not when they pass
Someday we’ll all be welcomed back
No longer buried in the past

Hold on to what you've got while it lasts
Let go if you’re ready or not when they pass
We all need our deliverance
Why do we drift away like this?
We have to drift away like this
