Joe Black

It's a reference to the Brad Pitt film Meet Joe Black. In the movie Pitt played a character named Joe Black who was the personification of death.

Joe Black, stay away
Come again some distant day
Rain check if I may
Today gotta see my friends
Say hello and make amends
 
Joe Black, not today
The sun calls me out to play
Old friends wait for me
Laughter lingers on the breeze
Let me live a while in peace
 
Joe Black, not yet time
I must walk the paths I love
The sun’s still too bright
Much to do and songs to sing
There’s so much joy in living
 
Joe Black, let me be
There’s more life left here for me
The sky’s still so blue
I’ve got dreams that must come true
Mem’ries, I need to renew
 
Joe Black, few more years
I’ve got plans not yet in play
Friends who wants me here
There’s still time for what I chose
Not yet ready for repose
 
When it’s time for me to go
I will hold the door for you
Joe Black, with your quiet flow
Shadows gain as you pass through
