When You Arrive Bruce Cockburn

When You Arrive - Bruce Cockburn
[Verse 1]
Breakfast was Mahler and coffee
Dinner's Lightnin' Hopkins and rye
Everything you say comes back to bite you
These days only beauty makes you cry

[Verse 2]
The chapel is closed for the COVID
Black mold owns the city by the sea
Dew-beaded cobweb in the moonlight—
Halo for a saint who's yet to be

[Chorus]
And the dead shall sing
To the living and the semi-alive
Bells will ring
When you arrive

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You're limping like a three-legged canine
Backbone creaking like a cheap shoe
Dragging the accretions of a lifetime
But you oughta make another mile or two
