Remember My Name
Give me your secret hand
And I'll give you my deepest thoughts
Give me your promise that can't be broken
Give me your tired eyes
Ease your head of empty scars
Fill my head with pictures
That can't be stolen, can't be taken away
And if we're still here tomorrow
Oh will you recognize my face?
And if we're still here tomorrow
Will you remember my name?
Give me your pale eyes
And I'll give you my broken heart
And if you love me this is the place to start
If I build a pyramid from the sweat of other men
Would I be remembered now and forever
Or even for another hour?
And if we're still here tomorrow
Will you recognize my face?
And if we're still here tomorrow
Will you remember my name?
And if we're still here tomorrow
Will you recognize my face?
And if we're still here tomorrow
Will you remember my name?
Say that our life has gone
Just another bed of roses
Just another crown of thorns on your head
Give me your savage eyes
And I'll give you my only wish
Here again and gone today
Like a shadow.. like a shadow
Give me the world, now
And serve it on a silver platter
I'll give you my life along with my heart's desire
I'll give you everything I have
And if we're still here tomorrow
Ah, will you recognize my face?
And if we're still here tomorrow
Will you remember my name?
(We'll only be untrue
To each other if we lie)
Remember my name
(We'll only find the heart
Of another if we try)
Remember my name
(*Only pray all day
You went along too soon*)
Remember my name
(We'll only find the light
If we only see the truth)
Remember my name
(We'll only see the light
If our eyes are open wide)
Remember my name
(We'll only speak what's right)
