My death waits like an old roue
So confident Ill go his way
Whistle to him and the passing time
My death waits like a bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
We drank for that and the passing time
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as our love is right
Lets not think about the passing time
But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I dont care
For in front of that door, there is you
My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime for the passing time
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
Oh lets not think about the passing time
My death waits there between your thighs
Your cool fingers will close my eyes
Lets not think about the passing time
But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I dont care
For in front of that door, there is you
My death waits there among the leaves
In magicians mysterious sleeves
Rabbits and dogs and the passing time
My death waits there among the flowers
Where the blackest shadow cowers
Lets pick lilacs for the passing time
My death waits there in a double bed
Sails of oblivion at my head
Lets not think about the passing time
But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I dont care
For in front of that door
There is
You
