Forgotten lyrics
by "T-Bone" Burnett
[Verse 1]
Help was on the way
I guess it wasn't mine to say
"We're too far gone"
But I've been here before
And though it's changed, I know the door
Locks on the outside
[Verse 2]
A wolf nipped at my heels
I tried to reinvent the wheel
With sticks and straw
And the wrong half of the hourglass
Was full when I heard her voice
On the outside
[Chorus]
"Hey there, it's all gonna be fine
You ain't gonna die alone
You ain't gonna be forgotten"
