All of my life, I've been waiting for you,
 Come lay down your head, rest in my arms, you're free tonight
 You're in the eyes of those whose luck has run out
 A tender end to a life of descent

 Every lawman knows that you cannot be argued
 Even despots know that when they die, you'll rule still

 You're supreme, immutable, unchanging
 You're never failing through the ages
 You are the usher at the unknown portal
 You stand silent among the din and clamor

 All of my life I've been waiting for you
 With open arms, I'll come running towards you

 You're supreme, immutable, unchanging
 You're never failing through the ages

 You're more constant than the stars
 Because the change their paths with the seasons
 You're more constant than the Moon
 Because she hides her face in the shadows
 You're more constant than the sun
 Because one day her embrace will melt the earth
 You're more constant than the gods
 Because sometimes when we call, they don't answer at all

 All in all, we end the same
 (Come lay down your head, rest in my arms, you're free tonight)
