Lyrics

(Seal/isidore) 1994

Da da, da da

Ah, ho-oo-oh-oo

Fearless people
Careless needle
Harsh words spoken
And lives are broken

Forceful ageing
Help me I'm fading
Heaven's waiting
It's time to move on

Crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you
Life carries on... it goes on

Just say die
And that would be pessimistic
In your mind
We can walk across the water
Please don't cry
It's just a prayer for the dying
I just don't know what's got into me

Been crossin' that bridge
With lessons I've learned
...Learned..............

Playing with fire
And not getting burned
...Burned burned..

I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you. (l)

There is a light through that window
...Light through that window..
Hold on say yes, while people say no

Life carries on
...On on on..
Ohh!
It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh..

I'm crossing that bridge, (l)
With lessons I've learned.... (l)
I'm playing with fire, (l)
And not getting burned.... (l)
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you. (l)
There is a light through that window. (l)
Hold on say yes, while people say no

'Cause life carries on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on..
It goes on....oh-ee-on
It goes on
Whoah
Whoah
Life carries on

When nothing else matters

When nothing else matters

I just don't know what's got into me

It's just a prayer for the dying
...Dying dying dying dying..

For the dying
