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 put down a forty-five

When he said to her, "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 wrong

Sometimes I wonder

If my time is long
