When I leave this earth I'm not sure where I'll go Will goodbye feel like a way to say hello? Would you want a list of those who would be sad? Will they say it was "a shame" or "that's too bad"? How much will it hurt to leave the ones you love? On long days and fast years A song burns in my ears That I never quite hear On long days and fast years Give me strength when I am hurting Send your angels from the dirt Send Jack and Jean and Ki to me, ASAP Ain't nobody quitting here, but I know that I am weak and I get scared still at the doctors Who will prepare delivery from the church of non-belief? Call it artistic or agnostic, altruistic, now I lost it This uncertainty just gets to me On long days and fast years A song burns in my ears That I never quite hear On long days and fast years All the things we thought we were supposed to be Promises I made to you and you to me, the day will come When the ones I love have gone from here Make me electrons, make me dirt and light, The angels sleep with you tonight, they'll be no more Long days and fast years A song burns in my ears That I never quite hear On long days and fast years On long days and fast years A song burns in my ears That I never quite hear On long days and fast years
