Death of an Heir of Sorrows - Silver Jews

I wish I lived in the power and light

I wish it wasn’t Saturday night

'Cause I can’t raise hell

No, I can’t raise hell for two

I wish I had a thousand bucks

I wish I was the Royal Trux

But mostly I wish

I wish I was with you

When I was summoned to the phone

I knew in my bones that you had died alone

We’d never been promised there will be a tomorrow

So let’s just call it the death of an heir of sorrows

The death of an heir of sorrows

I have not avoided certainty

It has always just eluded me

I wish I knew

I wish I knew for true

I wish I had a rhinestone suit

I wish I had a new pair of boots

But mostly I wish

I wish I was with you

We’d never been promised there will be a tomorrow

So let’s just call it the death of an heir of sorrows

The death of an heir of sorrows
