[English]

Broke down, thought that I would drown

Hope that I've been found, 'fore I hit the ground

Some days out the corner of my eye yeah, hey

Saw you weeping, saw you creeping

Saw you sneakin' in the shadow's long, the fear so strong

Saw you out the corner of my eye yeah

Don't come for me today

I'm feeling good, I'mma savor it

Don't come for me today

I'm feeling good, I remember when

You came to take me away

So close I was to Heaven's gates

But no baby, no baby, not today

Oh, you tried to track me down

You followed me like the darkest cloud

But no baby, no baby, not today

Oh, reaper

Oh, no baby, no baby, not today

Oh, reaper

Oh, no baby, no baby, not today

So come back when I'm good and old

I got drinks to drink, and men to hold

I got good things to do with my life, yeah

Oh, I wanna dance in the open breeze

Feel the wind in my hair, hear the ocean sing

I got good things to feel in my life, yeah

Don't come for me today

I'm feeling good, I'mma savor it

Don't come for me today

I'm feeling good, I remember when

You came to take me away

So close I was to Heaven's gates

But no baby, no baby, not today

Oh, you tried to track me down

You followed me like the darkest cloud

But no baby, no baby, not today

Oh, reaper

Oh, no baby, no baby, not today

Oh, reaper

Oh, no baby, no baby, not today
