Last Breath

The air is getting thin now and the light is almost gone,
I’m huddled in the corner, knowing I won't see the dawn.
The rocks have sealed the passage and the silence is so deep,
Down here in the hollow is where I’m gonna sleep.
I can hear 'em digging, but they’re just too far away,
To save a man who’s run out of the strength he needs to pray.
So tell my wife I love her as the walls begin to cave,
The mountain’s gone and turned itself into my final grave.

Slow lonesome bluegrass, minor key, heavy dobro and banjo, mostly instrumental, haunting, sad, ending in silence
