Living next door's a challenge

Things will never be the same again

I close my eyes and remember

A place in the sun where we used to live

Now Death is in my yard

He's sneaking around out there

Hoping that I step on out

He longs for me

And someday we

Will go downtown in his car

Ask someone who knew me

They will never be the same again

They tell their lies and something dies

Inside us all it makes me cry

Even though I know that the ship would still sail on

Long after I'm gone

Gone

I will be gone

In this world of wisdom

No one ever really has a clue

They kill their lives

Everyday

With what they say and what they do

But heaven knows I know

That the ship will still sail on

Long after I'm gone

Gone

I will be gone
