Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

No, didn't need no pencil and paper to do the sum

I knew that day must surely come

[Verse 2]

Lord, how sweet it is

Sailing around that river bend

But ain't a whole lifetime

Yeah, such a long time to pretend

[Chorus]

She stands before us

Dark as a forest

Ripe as a plum

Knowing that day must surely come

[Verse 3]

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?

[Chorus]

Lump in my throat

Hanging this note

Over the strum

Knowing that day must surely come

[Verse 4]

These tethered bones be light

With petals full and answering

Mirrored eyes be bright

Blood's merry fires all, all, all crackling

[Chorus]

Let sorrow choke on wine and smoke, vodka and rum

But know that day must surely come

[Verse 5]

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

[Chorus]

No trumpet blast

No champagne glass

No roll on the drum

No, but that day must surely come

[Verse 6]

Some offer lavish praise

Some clothe themselves in brittle shell

Some choose to spend their days

Damning the whole thing all to hell

[Chorus]

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
