mister reaper
The reaper man's comin to take me away
He's comin from a far long way
I'm not yet ready to meet my fate
Please mister reaper man, wipe my slate
He has no time for these troubles of mine
Another day longer won't pay my fine
Too dark is he to feel my fear
His hands are close his breath is near
Hey mister reaper man
I don't think you understand
Although I stagger as fast as I can
You'll always have the upper hand
I stumble first before the fall
I don't get up but still I crawl
I hear his steps he's almost with me
I am blind to all he can see
I feel his fingers upon my shoulder
I knew right then I won't get no older
The day is done and the struggles lost
I hope the price was worth the cost
