Oh God for One More Breath

Ellen, darling
Goodbye for us both
Elbert said the Lord had saved him
We are all praying for air to support us,
but it is getting so bad without any air
Ellen, I want you to live right and come to heaven
Raise the children the best you can
Oh, how I wish to be with you
Goodbye
Bury me and Elbert in the same grave by little Eddie
Goodbye Ellen
Goodbye Lily
Goodbye Jemmie
Goodbye Horace

The dust has settled
The canary's screaming loud
The air is getting thin
The air is getting thin

There's hope in the young'uns eyes
The Lord has saved us, praise the Lord
As if the blast was the final threat
As if the blast was the final threat

Oh God for one more breath

We're all praying for air
As if the blast was the final threat
As if the blast was the final threat
It's twenty five after two
There is few of us alive yet
As if the blast was the final
As if the blast was the final threat

Oh God for one more breath

Oh God for one more breath

We are together
It's twenty five minutes after two
There is few of us alive yet
Jake and Elbert
Oh God for one more breath
Ellen, remember me as long as you live
Goodbye darling
