Sometimes I tell you

The way that I feel

I swear that

I'm going crazy

Keep telling myself

It ain't that big a deal

It's better than

Pushing up daisies

I felt the arrow from

Death's fatal quiver

Come so close

It actually grazed me

I bled the blood and

I felt the cold shiver

God only knows how

He saved me



[CHORUS:]

There's two dates in time

That they'll carve

On your stone

And everyone knows

What they mean

What's more important is

The time that is known

In that little dash

There in between

That little dash

There in between



Sometimes my heart is

As true as a dove

Sometimes my heart

It betrays me

So I draw my sword for

To fight for my love

But without a whisper

She slays me



My mother died but

Somehow she keeps living

She'll never cease to amaze me

Now Dad turns his back

On each day that he's given

Because he'd rather be

Pushing up daisies



[Repeat chorus]
