Hello Death by Johnny Lloyd Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She said mother I've been as wicked as the rest
But you promised me I'd die looking my best
I'm too weak now to say sorry for what I said
Oh mother, I've been as wicked as the rest

[Chorus]
Hello, death
You've come again
My oldest friend

[Verse 2]
Carry my body through the traffic to the church
Sing for me the songs I never heard
Take my limbs and bury them in this earth
Sing for me to lift me from this curse

[Chorus]
Hello, death
You've come again
My oldest friend
[Bridge]
By the river, by the church
I saw a ghost I recognized
And he asked me what it's worth
To live another life
And I told him what I'd seen
Another world through his eyes
A fool in disguise, a fool in disguise

[Chorus Variation]
Hello, death
Hello, death
You've come again
My oldest friend
