La Mort tells the story of working so hard to make a living that you forget to live along the way.

lyrics

I'm an old kind of soul
That's searching for gold
But all that I've got
Is all that I know
I'll make my way
Back home after dark
But I'll come back to you
With the same poor heart

The rocks and stones
Tear through to my bones
And I try and I try
Before I head home
I'm tired and sore
So I fall to the floor
And I crawl back to you
The same fool as before

Days go by
They race in to the night
Not sure if this is living
Or just being alive
Alive

Time takes its toll
On all that you know
You can hold it close
It still lets you go
I'm gathering dust
So I do what I must
And I come back to you
Broken and bust

And we've come to the part
That we feared from the start
That this vagabond mind
And well-meaning heart
Have done their rounds
Run me in to the ground
And I'll come back to you
But you won't be found

Days go by
They race in to the night
Not sure if this is living
Or just being alive
Alive

Days go by
They race in to the night
Not sure if this is living
Or just being alive

She said enough is enough
Who cares if times get tough?
If we can't work it out
Then what good is love?
What'll be will be
C'est la mort, c'est la vie
But you coming back
Is all I need
