G
Farewell to Ed
Em
For Ed is dead
C
The careless boy
D
Laid to rest
G
A velvet floor
Em
To place his head
C
An empty bag
D
A wooden chest
Em D
Still beautiful in death
C G
The moisture fogs my breath
Em D
Two hundred lowered eyes
C G
A hundred mute goodbyes
Em D
I never thought your threats would come good
Em D
You never did what you said you would
Your mum and dad
They look so old
All huddled up
In an inky cloak
I�m not surprised
This room is cold
It�s empty too
It�s stinks of floss
I sat with dad and drank some beer
We hadn�t spoken since last year
I took his hand, led him upstairs
Silently drew his body near
I couldn�t see, missed you so much
Missed you so large I had to fuck
Between your sheets all charred with grief
The pillows tainted with your dreams
I didn�t want to stop that fate
I should�ve said a thousand things
Yeh, but hey
Like we agreed
I will be brave
I will pour whisky
On your grave
Smoke cigarettes
Amongst the stones
Sprinkle champagne
Upon your bones
If burial restricts your view
I�ll bring the city here to you
I�ll pack the river and the clock
Wrap it into a picnic box
With golden bows
And crystal mugs
My dancing heels
Will feel the mud
We�ll disco boogie until the dawn
I�ll teach the village how to mourn
My living room
In future times
You�re just a face
Above my fire
I futile sound
A distant chime
I�ll think of this
And I will cry
Perhaps I�ll drop my toast
The sound of shattered glass
Thought I forgot at last
Some things just never pass
Easy to say
Hard to believe
There�ll come a day
That I don�t grieve
Until the time
My body leaves
I will regret
That you don�t breath
