Tell Them I Was Here

If it comes down to this
If it comes up at all
Please tell them...
Tell them I was...
Once gone, and dearly departed
This world not terribly sparse
And without...
So tell them I was here
Please tell them...
Tell them I was...
"courage", said the lion,
And patience was a snake
"let's run", says the jackal,
"before it's too late"
I could be dust in God's pocket
Or the hair on a rooster's head
I don't know
But tell them I was...
Oh, please tell them...
Tell them I was here...
Oh, please tell them...
Tell them I was here...
I'm misinformed
I missed the boat
I miss the mother
To hold me close.
Gone to Hell,
Or condescend,
I wanna feel
Like it just doesn't end.
When it's time,
I guess we'll know,
And when it's mine,
That'll be the show.
And tell them I was here
Oh, please tell them
Oh, tell them I was
Somebody tell them
Tell them I was here
Misinformed
Missed the boat
I miss the mother
Hold me close
Gone to help
Condescend
I wanna feel
Like it just...doesn't end
If it comes up at all...
