Until I Was Nearly Dead

Until I Was Nearly Dead

Until I was nearly dead
I didn't know the meaning
I didn't know the feeling
Of it all
As it hit me
Like a hard slice of bread
In the kitchen damp five in the morning
Like I said, I was nearly dead

But by then it was too late
All too late
Growing cold on the plate
All too late
Too late

But as least I tried
As I cried to the sky
In my head;
As I've said, and sighed
I didn't know the meaning
I didn't know the feeling
Until I was nearly dead
Nearly dead
Nearly dead
