In my time on earth
I was a boy
In my time on earth
I was somebody's son

In my time on earth
I said too much
But not nearly
Not nearly enough

But I will recall the table set
The water warm
A bed unmade in a single room
Will I recall
If nothing else at all
In that single room
In that hired room
Love and death
Love and death
Love and death
In the afternoon
This afternoon

In my time as your lover
I told you the truth
And in my time as this saint
I grew some wings as proof

In my time on earth
I knew enough
That is far too much
That is far...
Will we recall the table set
The water warm
A bed unmade in a single room
I Will recall
If nothing else at all
In that single room
In that hired room
Love and death
Love and death
Love and death
In the afternoon
This afternoon

I came home early
I came home early
Yeah I came home early
I came home early
And found you talking
I found you talking
I found you talking
I found you talking
To God

Love and death
Love and death
Love and death
In the afternoon
This afternoon
