'Closed for Bereavement'
First to go was my Daddy
Then my aunt Julie and dear Mama oh I miss her love
My good friend Rosie, her death tore right through me
All passed from this earth now to the heavens above
My darlings so dear well I can't live without you
Can't see you or hold you, can't find you no more
Keep forgetting you're gone now, now and forever
Expecting your footsteps to walk through that door
Well time ain't been kind to my precious loved ones
One by one to the Angels my treasure's have gone
And each left a story of hard luck behind them
Remembered forever for they all belonged
So pull down the shutters and lower the flags
I'm AWOL I'm a little lost for the family I had
Anyone wants to know, anyone wants the reason
I'm off grid I'm hurting, I'm closed for bereavement
I'm tied up with regret, this loss breaks my spirit
I'm hanging on to the last words, the last words you said
And grief is my shadow and oh the dark it takes its lonely toll
Lock me up throw the key, this person is closed
Some time in the distance I might see the sun again
Feel the rain on my back to know I'm still alive
And until that morning when I can wake without crying
I don't want no memories 'cause they break me inside
So pull down the shutters and lower the flags
I'm AWOL I'm a little lost for the family I had
Anyone wants to know, anyone wants the reason
I'm off grid I'm hurting, I'm closed for bereavement
I'm off grid I'm hurting...I'm closed for bereavement
