Death comes by sacred vision   not something in the night   Friends dying in crash collision   Hide the cross to be polite      Hand of death in accusation from   the body trapped in the box   From where'd the stains on my palm come   Say a prayer as time we mock      Bridge   Black curtains fall on an empty soul   While I stand back and watch the tears roll      Chorus   Why didn't I tell you   when I had the chance to tell you   Why didn't I show you   I wish I could go back to show you Why      Field of dreams in desolation   The memories of wasted time   Sea of hope drowned in his coffin   Depending on my choice of mind      Until my spirit passes through   the realm of immortality   I won't know what lies for you   the choice you made for eternity
