A Backyard Funeral Songtext
Lover, you told me your down
The lonely words are swiming in my mouth
And you fall asleep to stars
But all you dream about are clouds
When you wake up
I won't be around

One neath never had it before
Want it like a soldier
Who's never been to war
So you aim your gun to safety
Fire blindly and ignore
Tell

Lover I'm all but harbor
Not a dock , the port
or an old gental sailer

I'm the lighthouse that makes safety
And ships just don't touch me
I'm so sorry

Knew you in your skeleton days
Long hair, shaky smile,
Grass stain knees

I'll take, what shall I give
For what I'll leave leave leave?

Leave you alone with a sad crooked ghost
Leave you collecting thoughts
counting what you lost
Holding the one thing that you loved most

Lay it to rest at a backyard funeral
Don't give it a grave, a name, don't dig it a whole
So you drop it, walk away
it deserves to be alone

If I get by my love I'm coming home
