Brendan’s Death Song

If I die before I get it done

Will you decide?

Take my words and turn them

Into signs that will survive

Because a long time ago

I knew not to deprive

It's safe out there now you're everywhere

Just like the skies

You are love, you are the love supreme

You are the rise

And when you hear this

You'll know it's your jam

It's your goodbye

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the drummer drums

He's gonna play my song

To carry me along

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the boatman comes

To ferry me away

To where we all belong

We all crossed when we were feeling lost

It's just the tide

Katari cried the day her lover died

She recognized

Because he gave her

A life of real love

It's no surprise

The nights are long

But the years are short

When you're alive

Way back when would never be again

It was a time

It's gonna catch you

So glad I met you

To walk the line

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the drummer drums

He's gonna play my song

To carry me along

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the boatman comes

To ferry me away

To where we all belong

Come and get it!

Hey! Hey!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the drummer drums

He's gonna play my song

To carry me along

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the boatman comes

To ferry me away

To where we all belong

Let me live

So when it's time to die

Even the reaper cries

Let me die

So when it's time to live

Another son will rise

I said Yeah

Yeah-Yeah

Yeah-Yeaaah

I said Yeah

Yeah-Yeah

Yeah-Yeaaah

I said Yeah

(Yeah-Yeah

Yeah-Yeaaah)

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the drummer drums

He's gonna play my song

To carry me along

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

And when the boatman comes

To ferry me away

To where we all belong

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone

Like I said

You know I'm almost dead

You know I'm almost gone
