I'm dyin', I’m dyin', I'm leaving this world I'm not even worried if tomorrow’s a-coming You're all in the same boat as me, I’m afraid You know I'm not lying, it’s only a rain cloud You love me, my darling, you love me so kind If I come home tonight, dear, I'll never come home And outside the moon shines so softly again Literal meanings are all left defenseless And I'm alone when I'm runnin' And I'm alone when I'm down And I'm not often right here But I'm less often lyin' Well all of my good friends they come to my door Say you’re not going nowhere, don't be crazy I end with the nile, I end with a smile I’ll end all confusion, I haven't the time And I'm alone when I'm runnin' And I'm alone when I'm down And I'm not often right here But I'm less often lyin' I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'll say it again It won't change a thing, no, it won't slow me down And if we're all just dyin', stop wasting my time Stop wasting your own as well, don’t be crazy And I'm alone when I'm runnin' And I'm alone when I'm down And I'm not often right here But I'm less often lyin'
