The Earlies - One of Us Is Dead lyrics

I saw a boy's t-shirt today It said, 'One of us is dead' He just looked me in the eyes And cried I saw a newspaper today It read, one of us is dead And old man looked me in the eyes And smiled Maybe I'm the one who's already gone Cold in the ground or fast asleep Tonight Some days I don't know if I've grown too cold Grown too old and left without saying goodbye Goodbye Maybe I'm the one who's already gone Cold in the ground or fast asleep Tonight Maybe I didn't see I was buried today Wasting away and sleeping all alone Maybe I'm not a man who sees so well Knows when his heart began to fail When I looked in your eyes today I saw one of us was dead But it all began to fade Just like before I heard the news today They said, "One of us is dead" But couldn't realize the end had already Pa**ed him by
