Chumbawamba - By And By lyrics
[Chumbawamba - By And By lyrics]
Don't waste the days when I'm
Dead and I'm gone
Wind up the clocks, ring around, carry on
Don't gather flowers, dry your eyes
Call your friends
For all I sang was a start, not an end
Catch your breath
Feel the life in your bones
Enjoy what's to come
Not the things that we've done
Save all your prayers
Take the pain and the hurt
Add your chorus to my verse
By and by, by and by
Forget that glorious land above the sky
Don't you cry, don't you cry by and by
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you and me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died, " said he
By and by, by and by
Forget that glorious land above the sky
Don't you cry, don't you cry by and by
Dead and I'm gone
Wind up the clocks, ring around, carry on
Don't gather flowers, dry your eyes
Call your friends
For all I sang was a start, not an end
Catch your breath
Feel the life in your bones
Enjoy what's to come
Not the things that we've done
Save all your prayers
Take the pain and the hurt
Add your chorus to my verse
By and by, by and by
Forget that glorious land above the sky
Don't you cry, don't you cry by and by
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you and me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died, " said he
By and by, by and by
Forget that glorious land above the sky
Don't you cry, don't you cry by and by
