To Be Dead and in Love

To Be Dead and in Love - Vinnie Caruana

She moved from Lynbrook to Brooklyn

Back to Lynbrook in a coffin

Don't leave me here to rot

In this wretched plot

Just burn my body into the sky

And put my ashes on a flight

Back to her

She moved from SF to Oakland

Back to SF all broken

She emptied out most her veins

And fed the trees

Just burn her body into the sky

And put her ashes on a flight

Back to me

And when the weather allows

You can see them in the clouds

Safe with the knowledge

We'll never touch the ground again

She said "stay here with me

We'll never get married"

To be dead and in love

To be dead and in love

To be dead and in love
