Death Row Conversation Lyrics - Singles - Colin Hay

A moment of your time now 

As mine is closing in on me 

A simple farewell rhyme to 

Anyone who hears me 

I have walked in shadows 

I have walked in blindness 

My life now lies behind me 

I have only one tomorrow 

My name is Jake 

I have made more than one mistake 

Where I lost all sense of good reason 

Now my time has come 

There's nowhere I can run 

Oh Lord, please give me courage 

The Sister she's my saviour 

She's my one and only friend 

I know I do so love her 

She says that she will miss me 

Tomorrow they will burn me 

They say that it will cause no pain 

But what greatly concerns me 

Is who of them would really know 

Thy Kingdom come 

Thy will be done 

On Earth as it is in Heaven 

With one more setting sun 

And dinner just for one 

Oh Lord, please give me courage 

And as the night grows darker 

My fear it now surrounds me 

I wish I could be stronger 

Oh Sister can you hear me 

Take this wretched soul 

Try to make it whole 

It's true I have been a sinner 

I know I've done wrong 

And all I have is this song 

Oh Lord, please give me courage 

Thy Kingdom come 

Thy will be done 

On Earth as it is in Heaven 

Now my time has come 

There's nowhere I can run 

Oh Lord, please give me courage
