Lyrics

I've never seen you but thanks for the memory that led to bring you to find me, today, rotting in the sun. I can't wait for long. Don't delay don't hold the phone. And give the coroner's office a call. Another brick in the wall for the morning (with a U). Another eulogy given today but the words won't come. As the days grow long my remains are nearly gone. It's like I never existed at all.

I'm in a better place my time is done. There's no amazing grace to overcome. They told us when we were young - you can't live forever. I'm in a better place my time is done. There's no amazing grace, no kingdom come. They told us when we were young - you can't live forever.

I don't remember the name or the number, and I can barely remember the face, but the knife was long. As the days grow long, my remains are nearly gone. It's like I never existed at all. (All in all, I never was worried.)

It's really all about love to give to others.
