21st of May Lyrics
It's time to bid this ol' world goodbye.
Oh, glory, time to fly away.
We'll meet our savior in the sky.
Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
Sinner, heed these words of mine
'Bout the coming Judgment Day.
Yes, the end is drawing nigh.
Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
They laughed while Noah built his boat,
Then cried when came the rain.
And they mock me now, but I will float
On the 21st of May.
Well, I've never been so sure
And I've never led no one astray.
'Cept in the fall of '94.
But Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
They laughed while Noah built his boat,
Then cried when came the rain.
And they mock me now, but I will float
On the 21st of May.
They mock me now, but I will float
On the 21st of May.
Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
Oh, glory, time to fly away.
We'll meet our savior in the sky.
Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
'Bout the coming Judgment Day.
Yes, the end is drawing nigh.
Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
Then cried when came the rain.
And they mock me now, but I will float
On the 21st of May.
And I've never led no one astray.
'Cept in the fall of '94.
But Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
Then cried when came the rain.
And they mock me now, but I will float
On the 21st of May.
They mock me now, but I will float
On the 21st of May.

From an email Nickel Creek sent to subscribers:
"Sean wrote this song on May 20th, 2011, the day before the supposed rapture as predicted and advertised by Bay Area pastor Harold Camping (whose point of view he sings it from). It was a close call but we made it."
