Story Behind The Song

Who knows....

Lyrics

The sun is shining up on high
No single cloud, a sky blue sky
And so I sit and wonder why
It's such a nice, nice day to die

Giving, it's fine, taking's fine
Barons laugh and walk behind
But they don't see their children play
and who looks eye to eye today

I can't seem really to defend
And even though I know the end
It's only seen through my minds eye
such a nice, nice day to die

Coming home from other places
Puts me out I've lost my traces
Even though the world is colder
Am I really so much older
That it hurts to live again
What will remain, will remain

Living in time, out of time
Hells in trouble for a nickel or a dime
Makes bad water from red wine
You can be sure it just ain't mine

Night falls like an autumn leaf
The day has gone before a thief
And left me tired and wondering why
It's such a nice, nice day to die
