Cradle to the Grave Lyrics

What does it take

Just to keep on keeping on

I'm in my mind

Just trying not to drown

It's all the time

From the cradle to the grave

But I can see the sky

And the shadows coming down

And it takes oh, oh, oh

It takes over me

Oh, oh, oh it takes

It takes all you have

Feels like running out of time

Down a crooked mile

And it's amber all the way

Why change it now

At the eleventh hour

The stage is set

And we're standing in the light

And it takes oh, oh, oh

It takes over me

Oh, oh, oh, it takes over me-oh

We've got what it takes

It just takes a while is all

From the darkest hour

To the breaking of the dawn

We may be poor

But we're rich in what we love

And we'll get by

We'll get by on just enough

And it takes oh, oh, oh

It takes over me

Oh, oh, oh

It takes over me

Oh, oh, oh

It takes over me

It takes oh, oh, oh

Over me
