Eleventh Hour Blues |
LyricsELEVENTH HOUR BLUES [Intro] (Solo Saxophone) [Verse 1] I'm in the eleventh hour now Still got some miles to go Saw the doctor this morning He gave me something to think about Said there were roads still open Said there were paths to explore I nodded as he talked But my mind slipped out the door [Chorus] How do I want to spend These precious days I've got? Still got some miles before me And more road behind than ahead I pick up my saxophone And remember them all The ones who walked beside me Before they got the call [Sax Fill] [Verse 2] The older that I get The more their faces stay People I haven't seen for years Don't seem so far away My mother talked about her mother Near the ending of her days Like she was just beyond the curtain Not so very far away [Chorus] How do I want to spend These precious days I've got? Still got some miles before me And more road behind than ahead I pick up my saxophone And remember them all The ones who walked beside me Before they got the call [Extended Sax Solo] [Bridge] And I don't know what's waiting Past the edge of what I see But some nights I catch myself wondering If they're waiting there for me [Outro] I'm in the eleventh hour now Still got some miles to go I pick up my saxophone And remember them all The ones who walked beside me Before they got the call And some nights I still wonder If I'll see them after all (Saxophone Fade) |
