Everest Isle - Rick Kwan, Nemes

No, I’m not giving up this time

I’m gonna hold out each note 'til you’re mine

And if I die while you’re some other’s bride

I’ll die with my head hung so foolishly high

No, I’m not giving in this time

Life looks good through my bloodshot eyes

I’ll find the words that will shiver your spine

Or I’ll just sing 'til I run out of rhymes

No, I’m not going left or right

I’m gonna build you a song that just climbs

To the top of the Everest Isle

Or the bottom of the deepest Nile

No, I’m not giving up on you, my love

I know that you gave up on me

But if you know me

You know that I’m not one for giving up easy

Five more minutes before my head is spinning

Like this weary world that’s falling off her hinges

And leaving me so dizzy and dazed

Well, floating right by my blurry eyes

Is a vision of your fleeting smile

That I try to keep, but it slowly fades

No, I’m not giving up this time

I’m gonna carry your heart as I climb

To the top of the Everest Isle

Or the bottom of the deepest Nile

No, I’m not giving up on you, my love

I know that you gave up on me

But if you know me

You know that I’m not one for giving up easy

No, I’m not giving up on you, my love

I know that you gave up on me

But if you know me

You know that I’m not one for giving up easy
