It Won't Be Long

One time for your crooked mind, said I
As I gave the man a pound

It won't be long before I'm gone
Swallowed by the road I lie upon
It won't be long before I'm gone

Standing at the grave.
Many of us fall
And very few are saved
It makes no difference now,
If he cursed, or if he prayed
Perhaps we'll drink together
One of these days…

It won't be long before I'm gone
Swallowed by the road I lie upon
It won't be long before I'm gone
Swallowed by the road
I stumble on

…there's no backing down.
