about

A slightly grim meditation on dying. Old guy thing.

lyrics

If I should tire of stars that shine
On evenings rich with song and wine
I'll find a quiet place to lie
I want you with me when I die

And all the pain will sail away
And we will live in golden days
I'll fly straight to paradise
If you are with me when I die

All my fears I can't disguise
I just grew old while you grew wise
I've see the promise of the skies
When I look in your midnight eyes

And if my soul turns dark as night
If you are near I'll be alright
I'll fly straight to paradise
If you are with me when I die
