cautionary tales no funeral blues şarkı sözleri
It's hard to miss you, but then I hardly saw you
Can't say I didn't see this coming all those years ago
Your wicked smile, it flashed across our joyous wildfire nights
And your body was a fulcrum between your darkness and your light
So I spread the sparks we struck across the heavens as new stars
In honour of long nights we spent slumming in local bars And all around the world others sing my same sad song An unexpected absence and nothing to hold on
So silence the pianos and muffle all the drums
There can be no answers
No matter how corrupt our world becomes
I loved you, and you loved me right back in kind
That needle-ravaged body bore an incandescent mind
You were the king of sound, with an ever-loving heart
No matter how the world conspired to keep the two of us apart I lose myself sometimes in anger at the men who did this to you
But there's nothing to be gained from that;
No way to see the damn thing through
I dream you're still ahead of me and on the day that I arrive
You'll be smoking with the archangels having slipped St Peter a five
So silence the pianos and muffle all the drums
There can be no coffin
Nowhere from which to watch the mourners come
You died in a time with no funerals
No memorials No speeches
No songs You died in a time with no human contact
No laughter
No comfort
No joy
We're all alone stuck singing these no funeral blues
It's morning now
And the light is getting rather warm
I can hear the bees amongst this multiplicity of forms
Ferns grow under canopy, and worms glow in the banks
I do not lack for conversation
For that I give my thanks And though my skin is cracking and my hands are growing worn Life is still worth living
There'll be time enough to mourn
