lyrics

Death comes on like a dream to me
Nightly, and mysteriously
I sleep and it gets up
I sleep and it gets up

Maybe I ought not believe in you
Maybe first you'd like to prove it to me?
Then a sweet voice comes on sweet breeze
It shakes me--I believe

Maybe light's the reason I feel burned in any city?
Maybe love's a subtlety drowned out in any city?
But I've got to learn to look in city

O, reaching out of a part of me
I say, "Let us walk in the cemetery."
It's an always-approaching-eyes-wide-open
To learn to love, but learn to look in City--yeah!
