Lyrics Devin Townsend – Funeral

Jesus, here lies my brother
Tortured and blown
Stretch for the heavens and go
I watch him go

Jesus was a poor boy
Jesus was a poor boy
«It’s just a spring clean for the may queen»

And this one’s for the life
This one’s for the funeral in the rain
And if only for tonight
This one’s for the funeral in the rain

The day’s gone, and the year’s gone
And I don’t know when I’m coming home
I can’t hold on to what I’ve had
When in what I’ve had
There’s nothing left at all

So this one’s for the life
This one’s for the funeral in the rain
And if only for tonight
Close your eyes and try to sleep again

A world away, you turn away
I’m wide awake, and I don’t need your home
Tell me why he went, it seems to be
An element to this mystery
It’s so cold today, so I get away
And I’m left behind with nothing but words
