How long do I have
Till the bitter kiss of life will let me be
And the sandy touch of time will set me free
How long do I have
Though I’ve always paid my health its rightful part
And declined the hemlock of a spiteful heart
Maybe all my prayers will matter little
And forever will be noncommittal
But all faith is void if men are certain
What awaits behind the stardust curtain
How long do I have
Till I learn if heaven will undo my death
Fill my cup with eons and renew my breath
Maybe all my prayers will matter little
And forever will be noncommittal
But all faith is void if men are certain
What awaits behind the stardust curtain
How long do I have
Till the bitter kiss of life will let me be…
