lyrics

When the sun stops shining
when the stars don't come out at night
when there's never a question
between what's wrong and what's right
when the morning dew
don't feel good beneath the skin of your bare feet
when a drop of honey
don't taste sweet

Well, that's when I give you up
when I give you up

When the deepest question
can't be simply said
when the blood of soldiers
don't run red
when the darkest hour
ain't followed by the dawn of a brand new day
when young men stop dying
in the wars that the old ones make

Well, that's when I give you up
when I give you up

It's not that I don't want things to change
you know I do
but as long as things remain the same
I still got you

When the wind stops blowing
when the house won't take a bet
when the birds ain't singing
and the elephants all forget
when the righteous people
stop believing in the hopes of a kingdom come
when I see your sweet thang
and I don't want some

Well, that's when I give you up
when I give you up
when I give you up
when I give you up
