Sometime long oh long ago
Roses, speeches, tears and silence
People sleeping down below

Someone always said goodbye
Sometime long so long ago
Graveyards blooming wild with flowers
Framing names that no one knows

Sometime endless years ago
Sky like fire, air like poison
Silence and then ash like snow

Someone never said goodbye
Some forgotten time ago
Sunny days on family portraits
One blink, an erasing glow

Someone's here to say goodbye now
An eternity has passed
Sunlight on a simple gravestone
Son and wife can rest at last
