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 |
