freedy johnston - the mortician's daughter lyrics

Loading...

i used to love the mortician’s daughter
we drew our hearts on the dusty coffin lids
i grieve tonight over this letter
my tears dissolve an image from the careful ink

her father stands in the open door, he’s waiting for her
there’s a storm blowing across the lake, it’s late summer
on the broken step is a cardboard box full of wilted flowers
she whispers in my burning ear, “it doesn’t matter”

i used to love the mortician’s daughter
we rolled in the warm gr-ss by the boneyard fence
her skin so white, the first leaves falling
this long forgotten night, i am there again

her father stands in the open door, he’s waiting for her
there’s a ribbon printed with “last respects” flowing down the gutter
and the rain comes in and she drops my hand she’s turning, laughing
and i used to love the mortician’s daughter

i used to love the mortician’s daughter
we drew our hearts on the dusty coffin lids
there’s a lonely dove out on the telephone wire
i turn my head and she flies away
