Sweet Life

Dokken · Shadow Life [1997]

Take me along to a place I remember

where all of my friends - now they're gone forever

how they love the sweet life



I'm destined to run with the Holy

I must wait

dying inside ever slowly

I'll be on my way



I saw the flame of the candle burning down so low

I danced with my friends 'til they had to go

my spirit stayed -give me no relief

my spirit stayed -gave me no release

how they loved the sweet life



I'm destined to run with the Holy

I must wait

dying inside ever slowly

I'll be on my way



Sitting alone in a darkened room

trail of smoke and warn out mind

mister depression overstayed his welcome

something inside took me away



Take me along to a place I remember

all of my friends -thought I knew them better

how they loved the sweet life
