The Mortician's Daughter

I open my lungs dear I sing this song at funerals...no rush
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush
A baby boy you've held so tightly
This pain it visits almost nightly
Missing hotel beds I feel your touch.

I will await dear, a patient of eternity, my crush
A universal still, no rust
No dust will ever grow on this frame
One million years and I will say your name
I love you more than I can ever scream.

We booked our flight those years ago
I said I loved you as I left you
Regrets still haunt my hollow head
But I promised you I will see you again
Again.

I sit here and smile dear
I smile because I think of you and I blush
These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss
A fuss is made of miles and travels
Roadways are but stones and gravel
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch.

We booked our flight those years ago
You said you loved me as you left me
Regrets still haunt your saddened head
But I promised you that I will see you.

We booked our flight those years ago
I said I loved you as I left you
Regrets no longer in my head
I promised you and now I'm home again
Again, again, again, I'm home again
Again, again, again, I'm home again.
