Lordy May Lyrics
Oh my god we are done
So come take my daughter and come take my son
See we never followed
No we never followed
I've been in through your garden
and I've been to your grave
But Lordy May
When I come to my end some day
Will I find myself sitting at some golden gate
Or will it all just float away
My end some day
I wonder if my heart will be hungry
I wonder when my body does decay
I somehow imagined I'd walk this earth
no forever, forever
And I've been in through your garden
And I've been to your grave
Lordy May
When I come to my dying days
Won't you promise me this
That I go in grace
And I'd be happy to just float away
Some day
So come take my daughter and come take my son
See we never followed
No we never followed
and I've been to your grave
But Lordy May
When I come to my end some day
Will I find myself sitting at some golden gate
Or will it all just float away
My end some day
I wonder when my body does decay
I somehow imagined I'd walk this earth
no forever, forever
And I've been to your grave
Lordy May
When I come to my dying days
Won't you promise me this
That I go in grace
And I'd be happy to just float away
Some day

self explanatory meaning but so catchy. Particularly this part: "I've been in through your garden and I've been to your grave But Lordy May"
I interpreted the song as if he was singing to 'GOD'. He is questioning what will happen at the end of his life. If he will just decay in the earth or if he will sit at a 'golden gate' waiting to get into heaven. Hence.....
"When I come to my end some day Will I find myself sitting at some golden gate Or will it all just float away My end some day"
