Dying

It frightens me when you come to mind

The day you dropped in the shopping line

And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs

All the signsWhen they carried you out your eyes was open wide

The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days

And I felt so guilty when we played you up

When you were ill, so illWhat sticks in my mind is the sweet jar on the sideboard

And your multicolored tea cosy

What sticks in my mind is the dew drop hanging off your nose

Shriveled up and blueAnd I'm getting older too

But I don't want to die like you

Don't want to die like you

Don't want to die like youI don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

(Don't want to die)

I don't wanna die like you

(Like you)

Don't want to die like you, like you
