Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder
If the time draws nigh
To cross the river deep
To climb the mountain high
Sometimes I wonder
If the time draws nigh

Sometimes I wonder
What's this noise about?
These mad philosophers
Who say there's no way out
Sometimes I wonder
What is this noise about?

When he went before the hanging judge
To plead for clemency
The hanging judge brought out a .45
When he said to a judge
"I am my own worst enemy"
She responded, "Not as long as I'm alive"

As he wandered through the graveyard
Looking for his friends
He heard her singing in a mournful tone
He went back each night to hear her
And as the story ends
It was the only place he never felt alone

Sometimes I wonder
If my time is long
I got a feeling
Something's gone on wrong
Sometimes I wonder
If my time is long
