Just a flash of light
In the nedless night
And it's done
One day a diamondback
From the flour sack
Is gonna come
I hear the old folks when they say
It's funny how time slips away
I here the old folks when they say
Days getting shorter every day
Then the box and stone
A little weep and moan
And it's done
Flesh and bone
Will pay off the loan
When it's done
I hear the old folks when they say
It's funny how time slips away
I here the old folks when they say
Days getting shorter every day
Come here now
You better come fast
Come here now
As long as we last
No more two by two
No more me and you
When it's done
Dreams and photographs
Are what will be left
When it's done
I hear the old folks when they say
It's funny how time slips away
I here the old folks when they say
Days getting shorter every day
Come here now
You better come fast
Come here now
As long as we last
Come here now
You better come fast
Come here now
As long as we last
