Take the World Apart - Yusuf / Cat Stevens

Look at the desperate man Clutching with broken hands Wondering how it ends Stumbling back and forth Looking to start a war I'm lucky he was a friend Wait Take me apart and I'll flow like water Slowly fade I'm disappearing again He would've risked it all He wanted to heed the call This was the last attempt But as he turned to go Broken voice cuts through the cord This ain't how it ends Wait Take me apart and I'll flow like water Slowly fade I'm disappearing again Time and space There's never enough and I don't mind waiting For the day Everyone here will go mad (Wait) Too late to cut me down (take me apart and I'll flow like water) Tear me to pieces (slowly fade) Too late to cut me down (I'm disappearing again) Tear me to pieces (time and space) Too late to cut me down (there's never enough and I don't mind waiting) Tear me to pieces (for the day) Too late to cut me down (everyone here will go mad) I was the foolish man Living to fight again But dying to find the end
