Death Watch Blues

I feel death comin'
I felt him creep in my room
Yeah, the dark got darker
A winter chill in June
Yeah, I feel him comin' now
Gonna take his soul too soon
I saw what life was left
In those beady black eyes
Yeah, I seen it rollin' 'round
A dancing firefly
But then I seen it leave his eyes
Like a dream in the morning light
Then I heard a sound
Rattlin' in my ear
Bone rattles like the wind in November air
It was death comin' slow
And it ain’t leaving tomorrow’s over
And then there’s something strange
A shiver down my spine
I look around
Like there’s someone standing behind
Well they’re all waiting for him now
And they’ve been waiting for a long, long time
I hear them digging now
How deep do we go?
And then I heard somebody singing
Be still, my soul
Into darkness now forever
And forever alone
