steady hands - no more funerals lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
sitting at a funeral for a man neither one of us know
an entire congregation turns around to shake our hands
thinking of the irony that we’re meeting thanks to the deceased
at a service denomination unfamiliar to our own
i try to recall melody that i stored deep in my memory
in the schoolhouse or the bedroom
where our parents prayed us to sleep

[prechorus]
recite “our father”s fast as we could mumble
here in churches that we only see at weddings
and funerals

[chorus]
you can forget my soul
cause this son ain’t coming home
don’t want no candles at my funeral
cause this son ain’t coming home

[verse]
as she gets dressed for her wedding day
friends have traveled far to celebrate
in her new home, inside of the city, at a venue less traditional
the front row sits all the parents, divorced
some now have two of them
an unfortunate separation, differences irreconcilable
[prechorus]
we search for inspiration we can follow
here in churches that we’d only see at weddings
and funerals

[bridge]
my kingdom come, my willingness is far from done
it’s just not open now on sundays
if when we go it’s too much to take
we’ll just have us an irish wake
no more funerals

[chorus]
you can forget my soul
cause this son ain’t coming home
don’t want no candles at my funeral
cause this son ain’t coming home
