lyrics

Beyond the vacant pews
These godforsaken few
All gathered here to view
This box I bought for you

These clothes your father chose
These hands politely posed
Below the cupid’s bow
Your painted lips sewn closed

The boatman’s come to call you home

And though what’s done is done
This was my son
The last and lonely only one

In blondes and navy blue
Put bronze to baby’s shoe
Run rabbit round and through
These knots I taught to you

When both of us were young
Where all my hopes were hung
What’s gone is gone for good
I did the best I could

Let every bell be rung
Here lies my son
Forgive us for what he has done

The mortuary man
The ashes in his hands
The sad-eyed savior’s gaze
That sheep may safely graze

Now scatter you around
Like dandelion down
This strange aphasic dream
And I don’t feel a thing

And I don’t hear the angels sing

And though what’s done is done
You’re still my son
The last and only one
