The Old Therebefore

You're headed for heaven
The sweet old hereafter
And I've got one foor in the door

But before I can fly up
I've loose ends to tie up
Right here in the old therebefore

I'll be along
When I've finished my song
When I've shut down the band
When I've played out of my hand
When I've paid all my debts
Have no regrets, right here
In the old therebefore

I'll catch you up
When I've emptied my cup
When I've worn out my friends
When I've burned out both ends
When I've cried all my tears
When I've conquered my fears
Right here in
The old therebefore
When nothing is left anymore

I'll bring the news
When I've danced off my shoes
When my body's closed down
When my boat's run aground
When I've tallied the score
And I'm flat on the floor

Right here in the old therebefore
When nothing
Is left anymore

When I'm pure like a dove
When I've learned how to love
Right here in the old therebefore

When nothing
Is left anymore
