When I Go
01:48

Put out the light and stop all the clocks
When I go
When I go
When I go
When I go
Send me to sea, fill my pockets with rocks
When I go
When I go
When I go
When I go
Give all my clothes to the poor
I won't need them no more
And wait for my body
To make its way back to the shore
Gather ye round with a song and a tale
When I go
When I go
But don't shed a tear when my spirit sets sail
When I go
When I go
Ashes to ashes and dust into dust
I'll remain
My memories, lost to the seasons
And soon I'll be just a name
Send my regrets to the one that I love
When I go
When I go
The end is the end for we won't meet above
When I go
When I go
When I go
When I go

By the River

He sits by the river
And watches the river
And waits for the river
To come into shore
He prays to the river
To try to forgive her
But the water ignores him
He'll see her no more
He stands by the river
And pleads with the river
And bargains and bribes
For his love to return
He cries to the river,
"Oh won't you deliver
My love to my arms"
But the river is stern
And oh
We're all just flesh and bone
And oh
When the river decides you're the one
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Nothing left to be done
He sits by the river
And watches the river
And waits for the river
To come into shore
He prays to the river
To try to forgive her
But the water ignores him
He'll see her no more
He stands by the river
And pleads with the river
And bargains and bribes
For his love to return
He cries to the river,
"Oh won't you deliver
My love to my arms"
But the river is stern
And oh
We're all just flesh and bone
And oh
When the river decides you're the one
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Nothing left to be done
Nothing left to be done
Nothing left to be done
Nothing left to be done

The Lady in White
02:22

Have you met the lady
The lady in white
She walks through the corridors
Every damn night
She haunts every corner
But she’s gone with the light
Have you met the lady
Have you met the lady
Have you met the lady
The lady in black
She sits in your rocking chair
And sways forth and back
She guards o’er your homestead
Like it’s under attack
Have you met the lady
Have you met the lady
So mothers grab your daughters
And fathers grab your sons
Cos no one’s guaranteed
To still be breathing when the morning comes
Have you met the ghost
At your door at the dawn
She comes in the twilight
But by morning she’s gone
She lurks in the shadows
Makes it hard to move on
Have you met the lady
Have you met the lady
So lovers grab your lovers
And husbands grab your wives
Cos no one’s guaranteed
To make it out with their lives
You only get one shot
You only get one chance
Cos you’re not owed a thing
You’ll lose it in a glance
You better risk it all
And lay it on the line
Cos the Promised Land don’t promise shit
You’d better bear in mind
And oooooooo
He’s coming for you
With his cloak and his scythe
And oooooooo
There’s not a thing you can do
To escape him alive
Have you met the man
He’s been looking quite grim
You can try to survive
But your chances are slim
He summons those ladies
His call is this hymn
Take heed of the lady
Be freed by the lady
Take heed of the lady
Be freed by the lady
