(Part 1)      As you lie before me now, like a shadow   On a pea-green sea   Never thought that I would find you so hollow   Laying into me      This cup of wine   All salt and brine's made me sleepy   Sorrow sows   A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny   That I don't owe   Got nothing to hold on to      Wished for gold so I could buy you a palace   By the riverside   You'd come in and I would fill your diamond chalice   You were still alive      This cup of wine   Of salt and brine's made me sleepy   Sorrow sows   A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny   That I don't owe   Got nothing to hold on to   I've got nothing to hold on to      (Part 2)      Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?   Was the water everywhere?   Were you fretful to wade into the room   I'd been wanting to hear from you   Oh, no      Hand it over   Hand it over   You're weary, lay him down   You did your time, so thank you very much   Hand it over   Hand it over   So now your hopes are all allayed   Would you hand it all away?      Did his eyelids affix on empty chairs?   You had traveled to lay beside   A gentle torture to watch it all recede   And all the while, your mother slept beside him   Oh, no      Hand it over   Hand it over   You're weary, lay him down   You did your time, so thank you very much   Hand it over   Hand it over   So now your hopes are all allayed   Would you hand it all away?      Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?   Was the water everywhere?   Were you fearful and long to run away   From the cold clasp of Illinois?   Oh, no   Oh, no   Oh      Hand it over   Hand it over   You're weary, lay him down   You did your time, so thank you very much   Hand it over   Hand it over   So now your hopes are all allayed   Would you hand it all away?   No   Would you hand it all away?   Oh...
