The Undertaker's Daughter

I am the undertaker's daughter Would you kindly let me in I'm so sorry for your loss, sir I've just come to hold your hand I have learned much from my father Watched him ready earth and stone For a body to be offered To their final resting place and home We don't have to speculate on where they're going Just want you to know you're not alone Bring out your dead Oh, bring them out to me I'll carry them away And care for them tenderly I will take them to a field outside of town And a forest there will grow There'll be spirits in the trees And a river there will flow I am the undertaker's daughter And what I've gathered from my path Is that life is for the living To make friends at last with Death I will set for us a table There is room there for your grief And together we can sit there And in the stillness find some peace Let the water come and let your heart be heavy I am here and I am not afraid Bring out your dead Oh, bring them out to me I'll carry them away And care for them tenderly I will take them to a field outside of town And a forest there will grow There'll be spirits in the trees And a river there will flow There is time, there's always time, and I won't leave you You don't have to be strong on your own Bring out your dead Oh, bring out your dead Oh bring them out to me
