Allison Crowe:On The Air

On The Air
Words & Music by Allison Crowe

I can feel it coming and when it has passed
there will be no trace of me
other than faded words that have already been spoken
and promises that I will keep until
not even memory exists in my name
I will never desert you
and my spirit will never leave you
even though my spirit is about to leave myself
I've placed more faith in you
than I have in anything

And I will run when I can't breathe
I will give what is left of my bones
and I will wait for you on the air.

I have given you my soul and I only ask
that you can treat it better than I have
and if I was to ask one more thing of you
't would be to give me peace in a time
where I'm fighting a battle I can only lose

Burning rain can't tear this away
and my eyes run into my soul at its purest form
I am sinking further in to my mind
as the truth runs down my face to die

And I will run
when I can't breathe I will give
what is left of my bones
and I will wait for you on the air...
