Does it remind you of when[00:00:00]
How the years have gone[00:00:00]
It's come to this[00:00:03]
A rose on his lapel in the open coffin I'd give him a kiss[00:00:05]
I have to go up north to play at his funeral[00:00:11]
And his wife is there[00:00:13]
In some chapel she's picked out[00:00:15]
And there's not even an organ[00:00:17]
I have to play on some broken upright piano[00:00:19]
Listen to these low notes[00:00:27]
What a joke[00:00:40]
And you have to park and you couldn't even hear the ceremony in the cemetery[00:00:42]
Because the noise from the traffic and construction is so terrible[00:00:46]
And I stood there in the slush[00:01:33]
And I walked along very slowly[00:01:35]
To the tree by the turn[00:01:37]
And I went in front of my mother and father and sister and husband's graves[00:01:42]
And looked over to the sun setting to the right[00:01:48]
Tick tock[00:02:05]
Tick tock[00:02:05]
Tick tock[00:02:05]
Tick tock[00:02:05]
And I thought of myself[00:02:07]
And I thought of them[00:02:07]
In the cold hard ground[00:02:09]
You still can't believe[00:02:13]
You still can't believe[00:02:17]
I didn't believe it then[00:02:28]
And I don't believe it now[00:02:30]
I didn't believe it then[00:02:32]
And I don't believe it now[00:02:34]
I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now[00:02:36]
But there it is[00:02:43]
Listen to this tune I'm playing for you now kids[00:02:53]
Does it seem sad[00:03:00]
Does it remind you of when[00:03:05]
Shady grave[00:03:12]
Come the summer it will be[00:03:15]
Shady grave[00:03:18]
Come the summer it will be[00:03:22]
Well I can hear the cars just[00:03:25]
A hundred feet behind[00:03:28]
And I smell the rock salt in the air[00:03:32]
And I know in my bones it isn't fair[00:03:37]
And the sun sets in the sleet to the side[00:04:51]
