Hear

the

si-

rens.

Hear

the

si-

rens.

Hear

the

si-

rens,

Hear

the

cir-

cus

so

pro-

found.

I

hear

the

si-

rens

More

and

more

in

this

here

town

Let

me

catch

my

breath

to

breathe

And

reach

a-

cross

the

bed

Just

to

know

we're

safe

I

am

a

grat-

eful

man

The

sli-

ghtest

bit

of

light

And

I

can

see

you

clear

Oh,

have

to

take

your

hand

And

feel

your

breath

for

fear

this

some-

day

will

be

o-

ver

I

pull

you

close,

so

much

to

lose

kno-

wing

that

no-

thing

lasts

fo-

re-

ver

I

did-

n't

care

be-

fore

you

were

here.

I

danced

in

lau-

ghter

with

the

e-

ver

af-

ter

But

all

things

change

Let

this

re-

main

Hear

the

si-

rens

Co-

ve-

ring

di-

stance

in

the

night.

The

sound

e-

cho-

ing

clo-

ser.

Will

they

come

for

me

next

time?

For

e-

very

choice,

mis-

take

I've

made,

it's

not

my

plan

To

send

you

in

the

arms

of

a-

no-

ther

man

And

if

you

choose

to

stay

I'll

wait,

I'll

un-

der-

stand

Oh,

it's

a

fra-

gile

thing

This

life

we

lead

If

I

think

too

much

I

can

get

o-

ver-

whelmed

by

the

grace

By

which

we

live

our

lives

with

death

o-

ver

our

shoul-

ders

Want

you

to

know

that

should

I

go

I

al-

ways

loved

you,

held

you

high

a-

bove,

too.

I

stu-

dy

your

face,

and

fear

goes

a-

way.

It's

a

fra-

gile

this

life

we

I

stu-

your

face,

and

the

fear

goes

a-

The

fear

goes

a-

way,

The

fear

goes

a-

way,

The

fear

goes

a-

way.

Ah-

ah,

oh-

Ah-
