Tekst Utworu

Funny how they fill a church
For someone they ignored
People shaking hands in black
Like grief's some grand reward
A cousin I ain't seen in years
Cried into her sleeve
Said, "He always meant the world to me"
Well that's not what she said to me
You all found your kind words
The second that I died
Guess love sounds much better
When it's spoken graveside
Oh, they save all the sweetest things
For headstones and hymns
For folded hands and empty rooms
And next of kin
Everybody loves you once
They know you can't respond
If you'd have told me sooner
Maybe I'd have held on
Now they're digging through old photos
Trying to look destroyed
Telling stories at the wake
About the goodness I employed
The loudest man was praising me
With whiskey on his breath
Funny, he spent twenty years
Just criticising every step
You all found your kind words
The second that I died
Guess love sounds much better
When it's spoken graveside
Oh, they save all the sweetest things
For headstones and hymns
For folded hands and empty rooms
And next of kin
Everybody loves you once
They know you can't respond
If you'd have told me sooner
Maybe I'd have held on
There's a dark joke in the flowers
In the tears and sympathy
How strangers suddenly become
Experts on my memory
You say I lit up every room
I wish you'd said it then
Instead of waiting 'til they lowered me
Six feet beneath the wind
You all found your kind words
The second that I died
Guess love sounds much better
When it's spoken graveside
Oh, they save all the sweetest things
For headstones and hymns
For folded hands and empty rooms
And next of kin
Everybody loves you once
They know you can't respond
If you'd have told me sooner
Maybe I'd have held on
So raise a glass and say I mattered
Tell the room I was enough
It's just a shame you waited
'Til I couldn't call your bluff
