That Day Must Surely Come Lyrics
Need to show you this
What I’ve been hiding for so long
How I stole that bliss
Knowing full well that it was wrong
No, didn’t need no pencil and paper to do the sum
I knew that day must surely come
Lord, how sweet it is
Sailing around that river bend
But ain’t a whole lifetime
Yeah, such a long time to pretend
She stands before us
Dark as a forest
Ripe as a plum
Knowing that day must surely come
I’ll hold these words to my chest
To show my tongue cannot be bought
When all this world is made flesh
How is this mouth then to kiss a thought?
Lump in my throat
Hanging this note
Over the strum
Knowing that day must surely come
These tethered bones be light
With petals full and answering
Mirrored eyes be bright
Blood’s merry fires all, all, all crackling
Let sorrow choke on wine and smoke, vodka and rum
But know that day must surely come
I can still feel the shock
When as a child
For the first time
Saw the great void unlocked
And understood then
It would be mine
No trumpet blast
No champagne glass
No roll on the drum
No, but that day must surely come
Some offer lavish praise
Some clothe themselves in brittle shell
Some choose to spend their days
Damning the whole thing all to hell
Go west, go east
Take most, take least
Feast on the crumb
But know that day must surely come
Yeah, know that day must surely come
