Well, if I die before I get it done, will you decide?
I'll take my words and turn them into sounds; he will survive
Because a long time ago, I knew not to deprive
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the sky
You are love, you are The Love Supreme, you are the rye
And when you hear this, you know it's your jam
It's your goodbye
[Chorus]
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said,
You know, I'm almost dead
You know, I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
We all crossed when we were feeling lost
It's just a time
Could Terry cry the day her lover died? She recognized
Because he gave her a life of real love, it's no surprise
The nights are long, but the years are short when you're alive
Way back when will never be again
It was a time
It's gonna catch you
So glad I met you to walk a line
[Chorus]
Come get me
Hey! Hey!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
[Chorus]
Let me live so when it's time to die, even the reaper cries
Let me die so when it's time to leave, another sun will rise
I said, Yeah!
I say, Yeah!
[Chorus]
Like I said,
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
(3x)
