An Appointment

I walked at night
between my fears
as I watched bombs fall
from the wine sky

The smell of death
it hung so thick
I'm not ashamed to
say I thought I
might die

I fear no evil
where I'm treading now
'cause there's someone
waiting for me

It's twenty years away
from this awful night
but somehow I can see

I've got a birthday party to attend
I've got a birthday party to attend
I've got my baby's birthday to attend

No dyin' tonight
No dyin' tonight
No dyin' tonight
No dyin' tonight

My baby needs me
and I'll be there
but it's going to be
twenty years or so
I just don't know
