Lyrics
Well if I die before I get it done, will you decide?
Take my words and turn them into signs that 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 skies
You are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rise
And when you hear this, you'll know it's your jam, it's your goodbye
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to 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, its just the tide
Katari cried 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 we'll never be again, it was a time
It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you to walk the line
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to 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
Come and get me
Hey!
Hey
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to 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
Let me live, so when it's time to die, even the reaper cries
Let me die, so when it's time to live, another sun will rise
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to play my song to carry me along
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
When the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
