'No Good Time For Dying' written by Rachel Baiman (Greezeebow Publishing, ASCAP)
From the album 'Cycle' Available June 11 via Signature Sounds Recordings

Lyrics:

When she fell and broke her hip
They had to put her into nursing care
Now she can’t even take a shit alone
She says she hates her life
And she’ll be locked up here forever
With vegetables, this prison ain’t a home

If she had died a year ago
She could have missed this altogether
She could have taken pride right to her grave
But it seems she missed that mile mark
When old age turns against you
And there ain’t all that much left of her to save

And there’s no good time for dying
Between the golden years and wishing it would end
Money saved you wished you would’ve spent
When you’re hurtin’ and you’re lonely at the end
And they’ll all come to you crying
Cuz there’s no good time for dying

The people that you love,
well they’ll always disappoint you
When what you need is not to need at all
There’s no way of asking them
to turn and look away
No way to hide their pity when they see you fall

And there’s no good time for dying
Between the golden years and wishing it would end
Money saved you wished you would’ve spent
When you’re hurtin’ and you’re lonely at the end
And they’ll all come to you crying
Cuz there’s no good time for dying

You wanna see that sunset
You wanna that golden arc
You better leave, you better leave
Before it gets too dark

Well you come into this world just a kickin and screamin
And it seems you leave it very much the same
