Something is dying tonight There will be no more breath and no more light I've burned every candle and extinguished every fear And I've waited for your time to pass
Something is dying tonight There will be no more struggle, no more fight And I've known that I'd have to live Through suffering and youth But I'm the landlord of my dreams now And my tenets rent is due
Something is dying inside of me Something is dying tonight
My old paddles off to Saturn Taking flight and the astronaut within me Has no air supply at all so He's plunging into the deep sea With no parachute to fall
Something is dying tonight I can't eat and I can't sleep, so I just write 'Cause I wanted you to lean on To distract me from my feet Oh, my karma will cure me Out of bounds and out of reach
Something is dying inside of me
Something is dying inside of me
Author of 'Winds Of Change'
Not just the world of interest Sun retires calls it a day And sleeps a hundred winters
Darkness echoes thunder cries And wagers war of laughter And sky and the here after
Bumble bees crawl to the tops of trees And call out to the children Little girl awakes from dream As Elvis leave the building
Elvis leaves the building Elvis leaves the building Elvis leaves the building Elvis leaves the building
Down poor from the darkest cloud Flasher of the third leads him
Shotgun rings across a plan Harlem church cries sing refrain
