Dying Is Strange and Hard |
I have my pictures of you |
You don’t look back at me |
A smile I’d almost forgotten |
Bruises I don’t see |
Never forgive you for a sky |
Turned from gray to black |
Come out and kiss me, darling |
I promise I’ll kiss you back |
A new head on my shoulder |
A needle in my ear |
Every kind word brings new pain |
Instead of my eyes |
Her reflection in the mirror |
I have a sickness, but I’m not the only one |
Even in health |
In each other’s arms, they’re wasting away |
Sickened just as I am and crippled with disease |
A song comes from above |
I look up -- there’s a tree and a small brown bird |
Even the sparrows have built a nest |
But we, poor fools, have built nothing |
What a shame not to know that you’re dying |
Tell us we’re dying, tell us again |
I have a sickness |
The sparrows built a nest |
My crippled, twisted body is swallowed by the earth |
As my broken head finds rest |
