The Day I Die Lyrics

On the day I die

I won't see Death coming

I won't have time to wonder why

Or hear the cold wind humming

I will be busy soothing aches

Sating dreams and appetites

Carry demons and mistakes

Changing my wrongs into rights

I won't feel Death lurking by

Or hear its approach

I will seek the truth or tell a lie

Feel guilt for a reproach.

I'll wake wash dress I'll eat and drink

I'll smile kiss love or pray

Hold a warm hand or deeply think

The same as any other day

Inside or under the clear sky

It will be my day

to die.

When my day comes

And my last breath slowly fades away

Hold me once more in your arms

And think of yesterday.

Let the dirt put out my flame

And lay me under a heavy stone

For one last time call out my name

Without sorrow in your tone.

Come what may come

On that day I won't be afraid

I was my master and master of none

Both follower and renegade

I loved you with all of my heart

And you knitted me together

When self and life tore me apart

Under the heavy weather

When my day comes

And my last breath slowly fades away

Hold me once more in your arms

And think of yesterday

Let the dirt put out my flame

And lay me under a heavy stone

For one last time call out my name

Without sorrow in your tone.

My wish of a final goodbye

On the day I die.
