By & By (Live)

Lyrics

Don't waste the days when I'm dead and I'm gone
 Wind up the clocks, ring around, carry on
 Don't gather flowers, dry your eyes, call your friends
 For all I sang was a start, not an end.
 Catch your breath, feel the life in your bones
 Enjoy what's to come, not the things that we've done.
 Save all your prayers, take the pain and the hurt
 Add your chorus to my verse
 By and by, by and by
 Forget that glorious land above the sky
 Don't you cry, don't you cry
 By and by
 I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
 Alive as you and me
 Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
 "I never died," said he.
 By and by, by and by
 Forget that glorious land above the sky
 Don't you cry, don't you cry
 By and by
