I Felt a Funeral...

I Felt a Funeral... - Whistler

Written by：Ian Dench/Kerry Shaw/James Topham

I felt a funeral in my brain

And mourners to and fro

Kept treading treading till it seemed

That sense was breaking through

And when they all were seated

A service like a drum

Kept beating beating till I thought

My mind was going numb

And then I heard them lift a box

And creak across my soul

With those same boots of lead again

Then space began to toll

And all the heavens were a bell

And being but an ear

And I and silence some strange race

Wrecked solitary here

And then a plank in reason broke

And I dropped down and down

And hit a world at every plunge

And finished knowing then
