For the Departed |
Just a moment dear |
I hear someone at the door |
And the beating of a heart |
That I hid beneath the floor |
They’ve come for me love |
Save yourself |
I am far beyond repair |
They will bury me alive |
But I’m not inclined to care |
I am too far gone now |
So dry your eyes and count to ten |
They’ll have me on the pyre by then |
Forget the man I used to be |
You’ll move a long more easily |
A moment dear |
I hear someone in the hall |
And the plundering of promises |
We hung up on the wall |
They’ve come for us love |
Save yourself I am bitter to the bone |
And I’m growing rather fond |
Of the wandering alone |
I am too far gone now |
So dry your eyes and count to ten |
They’ll have me on the pyre by then |
Forget the man I used to be |
You’ll move a long more easily |
Now I must finish what I started |
I’ll write a symphony for the departed |
I have no time for second chances |
So I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances |
The scene begins |
Your cries become the wind |
A desperate plea best left unheard |
Then my contrived goodbye |
A poet’s pantomime |
A drunken jester’s final words |
Just a moment dear |
I hear someone at the door |
And the beating of a heart that I hid beneath |
They’ve come for me love |
Now I must finish what I started |
I’ll write a symphony for the departed |
I have no time for second chances |
So I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances |
Dry your eyes and count to ten |
They’ll have me on the pyre by then |
