Em (x15)
This is umm... This is called a quiet song.
Shh.
This is something that we used to do a long, long, long, long time ago, and we thought,
as this is the last show, we'd like to do it tonight.
Instrumental
Em Em7 Em6 Cmaj7 (x2)
Be quiet...
Intro
Em Em7 Em6 Cmaj7 (x2)
Thank you.
Verse
My death waits like
an old roué
So confident; I'll go his way
Whistle to him
And the passing time
My death waits like a bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
Are we proud for that and the passing time
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as our love is bright
Let's not think about the passing time
Chorus
But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For, in front of that door
There is you
Hook
Verse
My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime for the passing time
My death waits there between your thighs
Your cool fingers will close my eyes
Let's think of that, and the passing time
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
So let's drink to that, and the passing time
Chorus
But what ever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For, in front of that door
There is you
Verse
My death waits there, among the leaves
In magician's mysterious sleeves
Rabbits and dogs and the passing time
My death waits there among the flowers
Where the blackest shadow
Blackest shadow cowers
So let's pick lilacs for the passing time
My death waits there, in a double bed
Sails of oblivion at my head
So pull up your seats against the passing time
Chorus
But what ever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For, in front of that door
There is...
Interlude
Thank you.
