Nights That Won't Happen |
The dead know what they’re doing when they leave this world behind |
When the here and the hereafter momentarily align |
See the need to speed into the lead suddenly declined |
The dead know what they’re doing when they leave this world behind |
And as much as we might like to seize the reel and hit rewind |
Or quicken our pursuit of what we’re guaranteed to find |
When the dying’s finally done and the suffering subsides |
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind |
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind |
Nights that won’t happen |
Time we won’t spend |
Time we won’t spend |
With each other again |
With each other again |
Ghosts are just old houses dreaming people in the night |
Have no doubt about it, hon, the dead will do alright |
Go contemplate the evidence and I guarantee you’ll find |
The dead know what they’re doing when they leave this world behind |
Nights that won’t happen |
Time we won’t spend |
Nights that won’t happen |
Never ever again |
Nights that won’t happen |
Never reaching the end |
Nights that won’t happen |
Never even begin |
Never even begin |
This world is like a roadside inn and we’re the guests inside |
And death is a black camel that kneels down so we can ride |
And when the dying’s finally done and the suffering subsides |
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind |
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind |
On nights that won’t happen |
Time we won’t spend |
Time we won’t spend |
With each other again |
Nights that won’t happen |
Never reaching the end |
Nights that won’t happen |
We can’t even begin |
We can’t even begin |
