My stretch is done
My stretch is done [Verse 1: male vocals] Snow settles on the barbed wire. The wind’s cold bite is rising higher. My stretch is done, the gate is wide. I'm stepping out to the free side. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid. [Verse 2: male vocals] I thought the past was left behind, The train wheels along the line. No camp fence now, it’s out of sight, My heart is cold, heavy and tight. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid. [Verse 3: male vocals] I remember freedom’s glow, City lights in a neon row. Sipping wine, it’s moving slow… It’s all a dream I used to know. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid. [Verse 4: male vocals] The gates are gone behind me now, I keep on walking, brow so low, No guard’s bullet’s gonna touch me now. The same old streets I used to know. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid. [Chorus: female vocals] Don’t sink down, old friend, don’t. Just put the grief aside a bit. On the bunks, no me beside you — Your bunk will be free soon, kid.
