lyrics

I tossed and turned till I woke up.
I poured some coffee in my cup.
The sun shone through the sky of gray.
I made my peace with death today.

I stepped outside, I checked the wind.
Blowing from the east again.
Facing east I paused to pray.
I made my peace with death today.

I walked the streets, surveyed the scene.
I observed the old routines.
I knew they’d all be washed away.
I made my peace with death today.

I came back home, I mixed a drink.
The sun began to sing and sink.
It burned away my deep dismay.
I made my peace with death today.

I heard some friends from long ago.
speak to my soul so soft and low
They told me they were all okay.
I made my peace with death today.

Into my narrow bed I crept.
As darkness fell I simply slept.
Simple, safe, surprised to say:
I made my peace with death today.
