Punch Brothers – Julep lyrics

I died happy in my sleep
I died happy in my sleep
Our children around and you looking down
Heaven's a julep on the porch
Heaven's a julep on the porch
You and me rocking
A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to time
We used to wind it

She brought the sugar and the mint
She brought the sugar and the mint
And he brought the whiskey
Asked for my blessing
Yes sir I know she's
Heaven's a julep on the porch
Heaven's a julep on the porch
You and me rocking
A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to time
We used to wind it
Got time
We used to wind it

Now the time stands still
We drink our fill
Out of silver
God will never
Tarnish like we will

You were just a girl that I should meet
You were the girl that I would meet
For drinks in the backyard
A beautiful daughter
Lifetimes of summer
And love ever after

I died happy in my sleep
I died happy in my sleep
Our children around and you looking down
Heaven's a julep on the porch
Heaven's a julep on the porch
You and me rocking
A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tick, tick, tocking to time
We used to wind it
Got time
We used to wind it

Oh it's tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tocking to time
We used to wind it
