Home - Victorian Halls

I used to think I would die young

Surrounded by angels they would tell me I am happy

And pick me up right off the ground

Now they seem to set me down and wait

This lake is warm it’s hard to swim

If I saw you again

I’d pull you down we sink like ships they never found

Without a light to help us sleep

So darling clutch with a fist to touch your rosary

When any port is home at least you’ll keep from cold

I used to be a prime example of the things I didn’t want and now they’ve come

around to bury me

I used to think I would die young

Surrounded by people that I tried to love and they would keep me warm

Now I’m content to be alone

Now I’m sure I’ll die old and forgotten

When I’m on my way home pretend you’re fast asleep and alone.

Clutch your

rosary and die young
