Lyrics
There's a book on a stand
There's a man waiting for my hand
There's a knife and a spoon
One might think supper's coming soon
But oh my dear Audrine,
I am so afraid that I can't breathe
I waited so long just to hear you sing
Don't you think that's worth something?
Don't you think that's worth something?
There's a plan written down,
still a way to get that crown
but it's hid, it can't be found
not the usual way these things go down
But oh my dear Audrine,
I am so afraid that I can't breathe
I waited so long just to hear you sing
Don't you think that's worth something?
Don't you think that's worth something?
Work real hard, pay your way
so you don't feel so bad
on your dying day
So many paths you might tread
Some get you silverware
Some get you shot in the head
But oh my dear Audrine,
I am so afraid that I can't breathe
I waited so long just to hear you sing
Don't you think that's worth something?
Don't you think that's worth something?
I hope that means something
