Gone filkin’ it’s a sunny day
Gone filkin’ in the Milky Way
Gone filkin’ in the key of E
A filk circle is the place I want to be
Gone filkin’ on a distant star
Gone filkin’ never been so far
Gone filkin’ it’s a simple fact
Gone filkin’ never comin’ back
CHORUS:
Oh, when the sky falls in
Oh, when your ship’s singin’
Oh, when your mind grows dim
Don’t you just want to go filkin’?
Gone filkin’ peace is hard to find
Gone filkin’ leave this world behind
Captain Jack’s sailin’ out to sea
Erica Neeley won’t you sing a song for me
Who dies? Everyone dies. Oh everyone dies.
Who dies? Everyone dies. Oh everyone dies.

Gone filkin’ it’s a bardic ring
All the others they’ve had their chance to sing
Will I get to sing this filkin’ song
These filk circles just go on and on
Will that circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There’s a better home a’waitin’
In the sky Lord in the sky.

Dum di dum de dum de dum
Gone filkin singing harmonies
