Had some time, had some life, had some fun,
and tried to put out some.
Love has met me and love has left me -
When I’m done, what will come?
When I’m done dying, lay my head on the ground;
And there’s a simple sign, that I ain’t coming back:
I’ll be six feet under ground.
Sweet salvation – you know you will be mine;
Sweet salvation – you know it’s been a long time.
I looked back at those shining eyes -
They said:
“Listen. Yeah, listen well:
Simple things still left to learn,
Live your life,
Wait your turn.”
I asked them, “how, how can I know?”
When I’m done dying, lay my head on the ground;
And there’s a simple sign, that I ain’t coming back:
I’ll be six feet under ground.
Sweet salvation – you know you will be mine;
Sweet salvation – you know it’s been a long time.
“Not yet, go back; see you another time,
Soon.”
Sweet salvation…
