If I Died Tomorrow Did I Live
|
If I died tomorrow, did I live?
Did I roll by the sorrows, and forgive?
Did I push till tomorrow, what-love-I-could, my-way?
If I died tomorrow, did I live today?
If I died tomorrow did I live?
Did I bye-bye the sorrows and still give?
Did I forget the borrows, and over lend my hands?
If I died tomorrow, did I live as planned?
Did I troll the rivers?
Steer the rocking boat?
Did I cheer my peoples with a hoarse-y throat?
Did I sweep the galleys?
Paint the graying decks?
Did I clean up after some pains in the neck?
Life’s a folly
You’ve got to keep the jolly
If I died tomorrow did I live?
Did I clean the gutters?
Dust some nearsighted stars?
Did I over drink on that trip to Mars?
Did I play high rollers?
Lose my favorite shirt?
Did I play it cool till I was a jerk?
Life’s a folly
You’ve got to bend by golly
If I died tomorrow did I live?
Did I love my Honey?
Did I hold my childs?
Did I cry n’ cry for the longest while?
Did I get back up?
After crashing down?
Or knock’em all dead, round by round?
If I died tomorrow did I live?
Did I row by the sorrows and forgive?
Did I push till tomorrow, what-love-I-could, my-way?
If I died tomorrow, did I live today?
Life’s a folly
You’ve got to add the jolly
If I died tomorrow did I live?
Did I flow by the sorrows and forgive?
Did I push till tomorrow, what-love-I-could, my-way?
If I died tomorrow, did I live today?
Life’s a folly
You’ve got to keep the jolly

One December the song
gods woke me. I
scribbled what they said
and went to bed. The
song was: If I Died
Tomorrow Did I Live
Today?
The next night I ice skated
and the song gods began
talking again. They kept
feeding me the same lines I
had the night before but
slightly different. I told
them, "I already wrote that
song," and I went to bed.
They woke me at 3:00 am
and said, "That song
yesterday was for you.
You're wordy. This song
is for someone else, a
group that can harmonize.
It's simple.
People will get this.
WRITE IT DOWN."
So I did (really I wrote the
lyrics down because I was
motivated to get more
sleep!) and this song is the
result. The whole
experience felt like the two
songs were a DNA cell
split and that's the story!
