Who's that creeping around my door? Who's that crawling on my floor? Who's that sneaking in my bed? Seems like someone wants me dead Oh, my Lord, it's the reaper I'm talking about the soul stealer In my time of dying, well, I thought I'd be a man But God I'm shaking My sweet life ain't long enough To make me brave and strong enough for what I'm facing Hey there, Grandpa, how you been? You're living free of guilt and sin Looking down upon our world Watch it bleed as it twirls Oh, my God, where am I going? Oh, my God, the wind keeps blowing me 'Coz in my time of dying, well, I thought I'd be a man But God I'm shaking My sweet life ain't long enough To make me brave and strong enough for what I'm facing All I want is one more chance To lie my baby down, God, I love her All I want is one more chance To buy my friends a round, my God, I love them With the misty morning and the cool wind on my face I drop myself down to the ground and tremble and I shake Then my back begins to crack and wings, they take its place Goodbye, my sweet, I love you, goodbye, my sweet, I love you I take my one last breath and then I fly Who's that creeping around my door? Who's that crawling on my floor? Who's that sneaking in my bed? It's me baby, do not dread Oh, my God, my head's reeling Oh, my God, it's time to start again In my time of dying, well, I thought I'd be a man But God I'm shaking My sweet life ain't long enough To make me brave and strong enough for what I'm facing, oh, oh All I want is one more chance To lie my baby down, God, I love her All I want is one more chance To buy my friends a round, my God, I love them
