Sooner Or Later

about

This song paints a poignant picture of reflection and acceptance in the face of life's inevitable changes and the passage of time. I tried to imagine the freedom of being a bird and flying away, sharing stories with loved ones. The song expresses a bittersweet farewell to a brother and sister, acknowledging the mix of laughter and tears that life brings.

lyrics

If I was a bird
And if I could fly
The stories I would tell
Oh fare thee well
Brother
Fare thee well

At some you’d laugh
At some you’d cry
And so many they turned to stone
Oh fare thee well
Sister
Fare thee well

Now Spanish wine
Is running through
The blood of this poor man
Despite the hell
I knew you well
And for what it all was worth

But sooner or later
The day is gonna come
And sooner or later
He’ll be knocking on my door
And sooner or later
My time is gonna run out
Sooner or later
Sooner or later

Now I’m in
This winter skin
And I swear I feel the cold
The road to heaven is something to behold
My place in the world
Is wearing thin
So I think it’s time to go
Fare thee well my kin
Fare thee well

My mother Mary
Left me early
But her wisdom stayed with me
I’m moving on
But the bonds are hard to break

But sooner or later
The day is gonna come
And sooner or later
He’ll be knocking on my door
And sooner or later
My time is gonna run out
Sooner or later
Sooner or later

Sooner or later
Sooner or later

I think it’s time to go
Fare thee well my kin
Fare thee well
