lyrics

I’m not long for this world.
I’m not long for this life.
And whatever unfolds, “we’ll be fine”
I am told.
Though I’m not long for this world.

Take my books to the store
And take the keys to my chest.
Why don’t you take out the money
And buy yourself a cottage
With the back door facing the west.

So the sun will set on the garden in the evening.
When the swallows come home to rest.

If we sweep the floor in good time,
I could open my birthday wine.
Oh words mean little
When no more than a memory,
But it doesn’t matter.
I don’t mind.

And this God-damn sun will set
While I’m staring at the ceiling
Oh I’m not long for this world.
And the light will fade,
This is such a strange feeling.
Will you bring me another blanket ‘cause I’m cold.
