Prayers To Whisper

I cried at the wake, of course I smoked outside the door And we spoke in quiet circles About the pain nothing would cure We said at least she does not suffer anymore For every day you couldn't bear For every night that ran you raw For all the words you didn't have To name the things you saw At least you do not suffer anymore My anger is useless and impossible to ignore Is that your shadow in the corner keeping score? At least you do not suffer anymore Prayers to whisper, drinks to pour 'Cause you have so much left in store We build a fire, we let it roar 'Cause you have so much left in store I saw a stranger in a jacket that you wore And it hurt me to remember the girl I knew before But at least you do not suffer anymore Even way back then, you were a prisoner of war Your smiles were twisted as the driftwood That washed up on the shore At least you do not suffer anymore The jury's out, decision's split Was it bravery? Was it cowardice? Well, nobody is sure Because we suffer more and more But we know that you don't suffer anymore Prayers to whisper, drinks to pour 'Cause you have so much left in store We build a fire, we let it roar 'Cause you have so much left, you have so much left in store Prayers to whisper, drinks to pour 'Cause you have so much left in store We build a fire, we let it roar 'Cause you have so much left, you have so much left Maybe we die so others can be born Maybe we age so others can be young Maybe the point of life is live, love if you can Then pass it on We miss you
