A summer night in Boise Idaho |
|
I wasn't ready for the call that I received |
|
Little did I think or know, the heavy news that it would carry me |
|
Rage meets anger, while knuckles and tears, I am helpless, 2500 miles away |
|
Sitting underneath a street light, wondering if another angel got his wings |
|
Black birds swept down, they surrounded me |
|
Carefully they wrapped their dark wings all around me |
|
This song is for those dead and gone |
|
Its just another day, another funeral |
|
God knows that they're never coming home |
|
Its just another day another funeral |
|
An Austin Texas morning, I wish I never woke up that sunny day |
|
Just found out about the lie, that was 24 long years in the making |
|
She was in and out of my life like a slow passing train |
|
I never got to say goodbye to the mother I barely knew was mine |
|
Black birds swept down they surrounded me, |
|
Carefully they wrapped their dark wings all around me |
|
This song is for all those dead and gone |
|
And God knows they're never coming home |
|
Another piece of me gone, I might as well join you all |
|
No... to many people need me here |
|
How many more friends will die this year? |
|
Nothing can prepare you for the loss of someone you love. |
|
And when the thought of them gone, it numbs like a drug |
|
Take sanctuary in the arms of those you love |
|
No matter how bad you got, someone got it worse. |
