lyrics

Verse 1
There's a pull on the rope
draws the curtain to a close
out of sight out of life
and it comes out of nowhere
and it comes too soon
but it can't entirely consume
still so much left after final blow of breath
it gets harder to forget
that all in due time we all fall into
the same chalk outline

REFRAIN
No one's gone if you carry them on
scatter their ashes round your favorite songs
they're alive when you sing a long
there's a pain a bitter after taste
that's what's left when they're wheeled away
may it dull may it fade

Verse 2
Some make jokes it's their only way to cope
they do better in bad taste
others grow still and they fixate
stationary is how they stay
I prefer the first our best is in our worst
please go blue at my wake
when all in due time I fall into
the said chalk outline

REFRAIN
