Sanctuary

As we lay dying on the table
I hear the beating of the surgeon's heart
And ghostly whispers of the people
But my eyes are holding hard to yours darling

Like a sanctuary
In a stained glass church
Where we wanted to get married
Oh I wish this didn't hurt

What a terrible way to go
What a beautiful way to die
We were only teenagers
In this crucible called life

A light burst through the window
Shines on those deep brown eyes
And you've never looked more beautiful
My heart may be fading but my mind is stuck on you

What a terrible way to go
What a beautiful way to die
We were only teenagers
In this crucible called life

And we fought off every battle
With our novel love held dear
Oh as our final page is written
There's nothing left to fear

Like a sanctuary
With you darling
