On album Now That Everything's Been Said (2010)

Now That Everything's Been Said
The salesman came this morning
Salvation door to door
He offered me the property
Oh who could ask for more?

Show me around the pastures of plenty
Deliver me from the rivers I've known
I'm about to be drowned and my cup is so empty
Just let me know when my time is come

The mail was late arriving
The bills were all for me
It's not that I mind owing up
It's just the C.O.D.

Take me on down the pastures of plenty
Deliver me from the rivers I've known
I'm about to be drowned and my cup is so empty
Just let me know when my time is come

The sun is setting slowly
Descending to the west
I'm prepared if the end is near
But which descent is best?
Oh which descent is best?

Show me around the pastures of plenty
Deliver me from the rivers I've known
I'm about to be drowned and my cup is so empty
Just let me know when my time is come

Show me around the pastures of plenty
Deliver me from the rivers I've known
I'm about to be drowned and my cup is so empty
Just let me know when my time is come
