Some more Lucy Gray for you all. 🕊🐍✨ This is my original arrangement of “The Old Therebefore” from the new Suzanne Collins novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I hope you enjoy!
The lyrics are set to my original arrangement “Waterfalls.” I own the rights to the music and musical arrangement.
Lyrics:
You're headed for heaven
The sweet old hereafter,
And I’ve got one foot in the door.
But before I can fly up,
I’ve loose ends to tie up
Right here in the old therebefore.
I'll be along
When I’ve finished my song,
When I’ve shut down the band,
When I’ve played out my hand.
When I’ve paid all my debts,
When I have no regrets
Right here in
The old therebefore
When nothing
Is left anymore.
I'll catch you up
When I’ve emptied my cup,
When I’ve sworn out my friends,
When I’ve burned out both ends.
When I’ve cried all my tears,
When I’ve conquered my fears
Right here in
The old therebefore
When nothing
Is left anymore.
I’ll bring the news
When I’ve danced off my shoes,
When my body’s closed down,
When my boat’s run aground.
When I’ve tallied the score,
And I’m flat on the floor
Right here in
The old therebefore
When nothing
Is left anymore.
When I’m pure like a dove,
When I’ve learned how to love,
Right here in the old therebefore
When nothing
Is left anymore.
