chris knox - when i have left this mortal coil lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i have left this mortal coil i’ll leave no shade
when i have left this place i’ll leave my bed unmade

[verse 2]
when you have burnt my frame there’ll be no more of me
just scattered ashes and a film of memory

[bridge 1]
there is no more to all of this than what we see
there’s less than what we’ve dreamt of in our failed and f-cked-up, frail philosophy
(doo doo doo doo doo)

[verse 3]
when my tired heart has flexed it’s final weary time
when from my mouth escapes a breathless pantomime

[verse 4]
when you’ve agreed they should turn off all the machines
there’ll be no more of me, my slate shall be wiped clean

[bridge 2]
and that is all my friends, existence will have ceased
this universe i’ve built around me will have mortally decreased (yeah!)

[chorus]
and you’ll all be okay, and you’ll all be alright
and your own small worlds will spin through dark and light (yeah)
and you’ll all be okay, and you’ll all be alright
and your own sweet lungs will breath through day and night

[verse 5]
when i am gone do not revere some phantom light
do not make more of me and please do not deny

[bridge 4]
that i was nothing more nor less than what you saw
that in my scaling of the heights i usually failed to leave the floor

[chorus]
and you’ll all be okay, and you’ll all be alright
and your own small worlds will spin through dark and light (yeah)
and you’ll all be okay, and you’ll all be alright
and your own sweet lungs will breath through day and night

[refrain]
when i have left this mortal coil i’ll leave no shade
