The Old Therebefore Songtext
von Maiah Wynne

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

You′re headed for heaven, the sweet old hereafter
And I've got one foot in the door
But before I can fly up, I′ve loose ends to tie up
Right here, in the old there-before

And I'll be along when I've finished my song
When I′ve shut down the band
When I′ve played out my hand
When I've paid all my debts
When I have no regrets
Right here, in the old there-before
When nothing is left anymore


And I′ll catch you up
When I've emptied my cup
When I′ve worn-out my friends
When I've burned out both ends
When I′ve cried all my tears
When I've conquered my fears
Right here, in the old there-before
When nothing is left anymore

And I'll bring the news
When I′ve danced off my shoes
When my body′s closed down
When my boat's run aground
When I′ve tallied the score
And I'm flat on the floor
Right here, in the old there-before
When nothing is left anymore

When I′m pure like a dove
When I've learned how to love
Right here, in the old there-before
When nothing is left anymore
