If I die before I get it do ne, will you decide?
Ta ke my words and turn them int o signs th at will survive
Because a l ong time ago I k new not to deprive
It's s afe out there and now you're eve rywh ere, just like the skies
Yo u are love, you are the lov e supr eme, you are the rise
And when you h ear this, you know it's you r ja m, it's your goodbye
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong
We all crossed when we were fee ling lo st, it's just the tide
Kat ari cried the day her lov er di ed, she recognized
Because he g ave her a life of rea l lo ve, it's no surprise
The n ights are long but the yea rs are sh ort when you're alive
Wa y back when would never be aga in, it was a time
It's gonna c atch you, so glad I met yo u, to walk the line
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong
Come get me!
Hey! Hey!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong
Let me live
So when it's time to die
Even the reaper cries
Let me die
So when it's time to leave
Another son will rise
I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!
I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!
(I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!)
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
(I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!)
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song to carry me along
(I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!)
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
