about

For everyone I know who has died bravely (i.e. everyone I know who has died).

lyrics

I take your hand and walk the hall, you say I’ll need it for the pall
You say you’ll sting/hurt me if I cry, if I leave you as you die
Don’t be the one to hang around drinking olden days
I need you here and strong when I sink into the haze

Now you haul me from the lake, the only journey I could make
More’s the pity still alive, the least likely to survive
And now you smile in the ward
You demand to see my ticket and you shout out all aboard
On to dawn

You had to drive them from your room, the holy rollers in their gloom
Their hope of afterlife is false, my death’s a dawn for someone else
That preacher rambling of your spiritual close shave
Send him off. I’ve spent it all. There’s nothing left to save
On to Dawn
