Pearly Gates - Kevin Morby

In my time of sorrow

Do you have a song that I could borrow?

All mine are worn out now

Dead and fallen out of my mouth, yeah

I need a melody

Something I could sail away on

I need a song to sing

Let my fire burn the stake on

And I was wondering

On my judgment day

What song I’d be humming

In line for the pearly gates

And In my time of dying

You know the choirs will be crying

Little girls with long hair

Throwing songs into the air

And everybody’s taking pictures

Inside Saint John The Divine

But me I was just lighting candles

That hailed every name but mine

And I was wondering

On my judgment day

What I would be wearing

In line for the pearly gates

And baby angels come to me

Singing songs with no warning, they’re singing

Sleep through this morning

Sleep in my child

And may your dreams become you

Oh forever while
