between earth and air there s a spectre or shape alights at the church and plucks us from the grave and before we re aware there s a purpose in place we re carried to heaven by tom waits i wouldn t be scared if i knew how it all ended no i wouldn t say no the force of the air pins our arms to our sides or it would if we d not left our bodies behind i won t feel the earth as it falls on my face we re saved from the grave by tom waits oh gone are the days when we knew what we all should say no i wouldn t say no oh dark is the night and corrupt is the soul but we re safe in his arms when we go i won t let the dark in to swallow me whole no we re safe in his arms when we go no i wouldn t say no
