shayfer james - for the departed lyrics

Loading...

just a moment dear
i hear someone at the door
and the beating of a heart
that i hid beneath the floor
they’ve come for me love
save yourself
i am far beyond repair
they will bury me alive
but i’m not inclined to care
i am too far gone now

so dry your eyes and count to ten
they’ll have me on the pyre by then
forget the man i used to be
you’ll move a long more easily

a moment dear
i hear someone in the hall
and the plundering of promises
we hung up on the wall
they’ve come for us love
save yourself i am bitter to the bone
and i’m growing rather fond
of the wandering alone
i am too far gone now

so dry your eyes and count to ten
they’ll have me on the pyre by then
forget the man i used to be
you’ll move a long more easily

now i must finish what i started
i’ll write a symphony for the departed
i have no time for second chances
so i survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances

the scene begins
your cries become the wind
a desperate plea best left unheard
then my contrived goodbye
a poet’s pantomime
a drunken jester’s final words

just a moment dear
i hear someone at the door
and the beating of a heart that i hid beneath
they’ve come for me love

now i must finish what i started
i’ll write a symphony for the departed
i have no time for second chances
so i survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances

dry your eyes and count to ten
they’ll have me on the pyre by then
