Not Until Then

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'll be as frail as an ancient flower Saying "What was that that you said?" You asked me if I finished with reading your mind And I say, "I'll be done when I'm dead But not until then" [Verse 2] The clear summer days that we paid for With the rain that was all clearly sent Has made me retire from family fighting The what will be replaced by the when But not until then [Chorus] And the crickets sing through the darkest blue The crickets sing like they owe to you The cars gonna start till it won't start again And I'll be alone But not until then [Verse 3] The candle's gonna fight off the dark till it wins When the sun arrives we will believe That everyone has piled up a multitude of sins And when it's over we will all surely grieve But not until then [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And the crickets sing through the darkest blue The crickets sing like they owe to you The cars gonna start till it won't start again And I'll be alone But not until then [Verse 1] I'll be as frail as an ancient flower Saying "What was that that you said?" You asked me if I finished with reading your mind And I say, "I'll be done when I'm dead But not until then"
