bruce cockburn – when you arrive lyrics
[verse 1]
breakfast was mahler and coffee
dinner’s lightnin’ hopkins and rye
everything you say comes back to bite you
these days only beauty makes you cry
[verse 2]
the chapel is closed for the covid
black mold owns the city by the sea
dew+beaded cobweb in the moonlight—
halo for a saint who’s yet to be
[chorus]
and the dead shall sing
to the living and the semi+alive
bells will ring
when you arrive
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
you’re limping like a three+legged canine
backbone creaking like a cheap shoe
dragging the accretions of a lifetime
but you oughta make another mile or two
[chorus]
and the dead shall sing
to the living and the semi+alive
bells will ring
when you arrive
the dead shall sing
to the living and the semi+alive
bells will ring
when you arrive
the dead shall sing
to the living and the semi+alive
bells will ring
when you arrive
i said, the dead shall sing
to the living and the semi+alive
bells will ring
when you arrive (one more time now)
the dead shall sing
to the living and the semi+alive
bells will ring
when you arrive
when you arrive
