What will I do when all my organ fail,
fog fills the room and my spirit grows pale?
The debt that I leave will swallow your soul.
The last breath I breathe will have plenty lungs more.
You missed me at mass, asleep in the pews,
the birds in my beard and my wife's new perfume.
But don't feel alone, you know I'm watching you.
I've slipped off my silhouette. I'm watching you.
Don't let the name on my grave wash away.
Don't let the flood flush out my remains.
If I am a man, if I am a man
then don't you forget me if I am a man.
If I am a man, if I am a man
then don't you forgive for what I have been.
