about
Written in 2020; recorded in 2024. A gospel song about music.
lyrics
Should my time ever come and I'm certain it won't
Although some say to all men it must
The devout get upset if you holler "please don't"
When the old priest compares dust to dust
As for me, I go left when things aren't going right
Goes in spades for the City of Gold
If I catch but a glimpse of that train's shining light
Believe me, those seats have been sold
So as soon as the bank says I still own my place
Cause the rapture has left me behind
On that glorious day we will meet face to face
All my friends of a similar mind
And we'll leave the ineffable voyage uneff'd
The winding cloth waiting unwound
And we'll turn back the clock to whatever is left
For the lost who find themselves found
And we'll sit and we'll play and we'll play and we'll play
And we'll play and we'll play and we'll play
