When My Time Comes
©1996 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Phoenix Envy.
When my time comes,
I would choose to be alone,
Breathing low, to an empty room,
And then I'd lay my body down;
And I'd leave this world behind;
Take my grandmother's hand
Over to the other side.
And I'd bring one song with me,
It's the one I never sing;
It's one that says nothing,
And touches everything.
And that song will be my boat,
Upon the shifting river,
I will sink or float
And the journey will be over.
Goodbye to hearts that burn,
Goodbye to hearts that break;
And I'll let go of the difference
That was not mine to make.
When my time comes.
