Outlive Death Songtext
von The Real McCoys

"How′d it go?"
Just came and went
At the end of it all ya just lay
You're all spent
Like a leaf a fallin′
The ground will hold ya darlin
And you'll never see your last breath

You sprouted up there in the light of the canopy
The wind-battered rain smashed the world where it oughta be
But the world never turns quite as well as it could
And you're only adrift for so long
Oh man, where were the days all along?


"So how′d it go?"
Just came and went
We watched the whole way your whole lovely descent
From a sprout on a branch
To the soil below
How quickly the days they all go
I guess one day I too will know

And all that′s been
Just came and went
Like a note in a book from an old familiar pen
Of a loved one who's passed when you read all their words
You still hear their voice in your head
Some things will outlive your death
