There’ll come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing sister Mary can do Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I’ve been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?
There’ll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you’ve learned the art of dying
But you’re still with me But if you want it Then you must find it But when you have it There’ll be no need for it There’ll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you’ve realized the Art of Dying
Do you believe me?
"....When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you've learned the art of dying...."
George Harrison ..a highly spiritual being who happened to be a great musician and huge rock star...
I feel deeply connected with his spirit.
The lyrics to this song and Within you Without You are just so , so great.. George had quite a head on his shoulders when he was such a young man, being into both the art of life and death.....

My father Bobby Whitlock is playing B-3 organ, and the tubular bells on this track! Also, that's Eric Clapton on the wah-wah guitar, Carl Radle on Bass, and Jim Gordon on drums. Essentially Derek & the Dominos with George Harrison on lead vocals. Pretty cool stuff!
