the old there before

You're headed for heaven, the sweet old home after And I've got one foot in the door But before I can fly up, I've loosened to tie up Right here in the old there before I'll be all alone when I finish my song When I've shut down the bells, when I've laid off my hands When I've paid all my debts, when I have no regrets Right here in the old there before When nothing is left anymore I'll catch you up when I'm empty like a When I've worn out my friends, when I've bummed out both ends When I've cried all my tears, when I've conquered my fears Right here in the old there before When nothing is left anymore I'll bring the news, when I've danced on my shoes When my body's closed down, when I've fell to the ground When I've tallied the score, and I'm flat on the floor Right here in the old there before When I'm here like a stone, when I've run out too long Right here in the old there before When nothing is left anymore
