There's No Drinking, After You're Dead

Come, taste the wine

Come, lose yourself

Taste this time

But keep it well

Only love it all

With heart and head

For there is no drinking

After you're dead

Dive and swim

In the amber ocean

See all that you can

In this new emotion

Embrace it now

Before it's skin sheds

For there is no drinking

After you're dead

Stand back to back

With yourself again

As you spin and reel

Like a new found friend

And have it all

With heart and hands

For there is no love making

After you're dead

Today is but a second

If tomorrow you may die

And empty pages glistening

To eternity's lie

And time is money's worth

Encased upon the wall

That brings our day of reckoning

Much closer to us all

Time will pass you by

Light the candle

And burn it well

For only time knows

What it cannot yet tell

Only love it all

With heart and head

For there is no drinking

After you're dead
