You carry my casket Towards each sunset The current will take My ashes to a safer place I'll be forever fond Of the memories that you hold on So just climb today For there's always tomorrow to compensate Lay in retrospect I always renege Lay in retrospect I always reflect ♪ Approaching the garden Breaking through the pearly gates My pockets are bare Without a chance to compensate Lay in retrospect I always renege Lay in retrospect I always reflect In the end When I look back I begin To regret I look back in retrospect ♪ I always renege I loom back in retrospect I always reflect
