Jeff is a jack of at least two trades: jeffreymarini.com -------------- What is this that I can't see An icy hand taking hold of me I am Death, none can excel I open the door to heaven or hell O Death, O Death Won't you spare me over 'til another year O Death, someone will pray Please wait to call me another day The children pray and the preacher preach But time and mercy are out of your reach O Death, O Death Won't you spare me over 'til another year I'll fix your feet 'til you can't walk Lock your jaw 'til you can't talk Close your eyes so you can't see This very air, come and go with me O Death, O Death Won't you spare me over 'til another year O Death, please consider my age Please don't take me at this stage My wealth is all at your command If you would move your icy hand O Death, O Death Won't you spare me over 'til another year |
