From the recording Bones in the River
Lyrics
There ain’t no golden harps playing in the sky
Nobody’s wearing wings or singing lullabies
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say come on down, welcome my friend
Everything’s quiet here like a cabin in the woods
No one cares if I’ve been bad, or I’ve been good
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say take your coat off, kindly step in
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say here’s your slippers, you’re home again
The seasons come and go - winter, spring, and fall
There ain’t no difference between them at all
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say come on down, welcome my friend
It’s like she said it’d be, my dear Emily D
‘Cause I could not stop for you, you kindly stopped for me
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say take your coat off, kindly step in
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say here’s your slippers, you’re home again
Though this is a place that I ain’t never been
It feels like déjà vu, all over again
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say come on down, welcome my friend
You say it’s over; I say amen
You say come on down, welcome my friend
