To Give It All Away
(C) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

When the end is on my mind
I want nothing left to lose
What I own but never see
What I have but never use
I don't want to be unkind
But I want it all set free

What I own but never see
I want it all set free

[bridge]

As the days go by and fast,
and so soon it will be years
I do not want to be reminded
I like putting off the tears
There is too much left undone
So many long avoided fears

I like putting off the tears
There is too much left undone
So many long avoided fears

[instrumental]

I am working to be small
and then one day to disappear
No one can say or can recall
Not the day and not for years
I can deal with my own grief
Of other's pain I will not hear

I am working to be small
and then one day to disappear
No one can say or can recall
Not the day and not for years

[instrumental]

My life is growing smaller
my possessions on their way
I will gladly yield my place
on a lovely rainy day

With only dirt upon my face
I will quietly fade away
I will gladly yield my place
on a lovely rainy day

[outro]
My life is growing smaller
my possessions on their way
I will gladly yield my place
on a lovely rainy day

With only dirt upon my face
I will quietly fade away

I will quietly fade away

I will quietly fade away
