21st of May Lyrics by Nickel Creek

A Dotted Line

2014

[Verse 1: Sean Watkins]
It's time to bid this old world goodbye
Oh, glory, time to fly away
We'll meet our savior in the sky
Hallelujah, the 21st of May
[Verse 2: Sean Watkins/Sean Watkins, Chris Thile & Sara Watkins]
Sinner, heed these words of mine
'Bout the coming Judgment Day
Yes, the end is drawing nigh
Hallelujah, the 21st of May
[Chorus: Sean Watkins, Thile & Sara Watkins/Sean Watkins]
They laughed while Noah built his boat
Then cried when came the rain
They mock me now but I will float on the 21st of May
[Verse 3: Sean Watkins & Thile/Sean Watkins/Sean Watkins, Thile & Sara Watkins]
Well, I've never been so sure
And I've never led no one astray
'Cept in the fall of '94
But Hallelujah, the 21st of May
[Chorus: Sean Watkins, Thile & Sara Watkins/Sean Watkins]
They laughed while Noah built his boat
Then cried when came the rain
They mock me now but I will float on the 21st of May
[Outro: Sean Watkins, Thile & Sara Watkins/Sean Watkins]
They mock me now but I will float on the 21st of May
Hallelujah, the 21st of May
