If I die before I get it done will you decide?
Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive,
Because a long time ago I knew not to deprive.
It’s safe out there now your every where just like the sky,
And you are love, you are the lucid dream you are the ride
And when you hear this you know it’s your jam it’s your good bye
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 cross when when were feeling lost it’s just the time.
Kateri cried the day her lover died, she recognized,
Because you 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 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 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
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.
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.
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 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
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
