Last Ditch Effort Lyrics - Josh Ritter

You have chosen dawn to leave 

Don't bother me while I am sleeping 

Life continues and though you go out 

I'll sleep another hour or so 

Though you think that I am fragile 

I'm a river and I'll travel on whether you are here or not 

You're not the only thing I've got 

So turn the light off when you leave 

Don't forget to leave the key 

You know I'm going to miss your touch 

You say that you can't help that much 

But I would have loved to see you try

It's not that we committed sins 

We wouldn't know where to begin 

We just love different things in our lives 

I love you and you loved time 

Now that my time has gone 

You have risen like the dawn 

And you kissed me as if once we part 

I might die of a broken heart 

(chorus) 

Photos 

Though I will not try to change your mind 

Believing what you left behind 

is a child who is lost confused 

as a consequnce of loving you 

I will not try to call your bluff 

The truth would hurt you far too much 

I'm sorry I got left behind 

But now you're gone I feel fine
