| I’m dyin', I’m dyin', I’m leaving this world
|
| I’m not even worried if tomorrow’s a-coming
|
| You’re all in the same boat as me, I’m afraid
|
| You know I’m not lying, it’s only a rain cloud
|
| You love me, my darling, you love me so kind
|
| If I come home tonight, dear, I’ll never come home
|
| And outside the moon shines so softly again
|
| Literal meanings are all left defenseless
|
| And I’m alone when I’m runnin'
|
| And I’m alone when I’m down
|
| And I’m not often right here
|
| But I’m less often lyin'
|
| Well all of my good friends they come to my door
|
| Say you’re not going nowhere, don’t be crazy
|
| I end with the nile, I end with a smile
|
| I’ll end all confusion, I haven’t the time
|
| And I’m alone when I’m runnin'
|
| And I’m alone when I’m down
|
| And I’m not often right here
|
| But I’m less often lyin'
|
| I’m dyin', I’m dyin', I’ll say it again
|
| It won’t change a thing, no, it won’t slow me down
|
| And if we’re all just dyin', stop wasting my time
|
| Stop wasting your own as well, don’t be crazy
|
| And I’m alone when I’m runnin'
|
| And I’m alone when I’m down
|
| And I’m not often right here
|
| But I’m less often lyin' |
