Silver Jews
"Death Of An Heir Of Sorrows"

I wish I lived in the Power and the Light
I wish it wasn't Saturday night
Cause I can't raise hell,
no I can't raise hell for two.

I wish I had a thousand bucks
I wish I was the Royal Trux
But mostly I wish, I wish I was with you.

When I was summoned to the phone
I knew in my bones that you had died alone.

We've never been promised there will be a tomorrow
So let's just call it "the death of an heir of sorrows"
The death of an heir of sorrows.

I have not avoided certainty
It has always just eluded me
I wish I knew I wish I knew for true.

I wish I had a rhinestone suit
I wish I had a new pair of boots
But mostly I wish, I wish I was with you.

We've never been promised there will be a tomorrow
So let's just call it "the death of an heir of sorrows"
The death of an heir of sorrows.
