For The Dead

For the Dead

With every wind

I hear you sing

"You will be fine"

With every note

Stuck in your throat

"This is your time"

But everyone is just walking away from me

Am I really that nasty

All the dust and dirt affects my skin

Everyone is just turning away from me

Am I really that filthy

It's dark and cold let me in

I'm in love with this land of plenty

Full of folks that still are friendly

I've lost my will but still I see some hope

Give me a rope I'll take it gladly

Find me a tree make it sturdy

Good-bye ma it's my time to go

Yes this one's for the dead

With every wind

I hear you sing

"You will be fine"

With every note

Stuck in your throat

"This is your time"

But everyone is just walking away from me

Am I really that nasty

All the dust and dirt affects my skin

Everyone is just turning away from me

Am I really that filthy

It's dark and cold let me in

I'm in love with this land of plenty

Full of folks that still are friendly

I've lost my will but still I see some hope

Give me a rope I'll take it gladly

Find me a tree make it sturdy

Good-bye ma it's my time to go

Yes this one's for the dead

Yes this one's for the dead
