Funeral

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Jesus, here lies my brother

Tortured and blown

Stretch for the heavens and go

...I watch him go

Here it comes...

[Verse 2]

Jesus was a poor boy

Jesus was a poor boy

"It's just a spring clean for the May queen"

I'm coming home...

[Refrain 1]

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

[Verse 3]

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 what I've had

There's nothing left at all...

[Refrain 2]

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...

[Bridge]

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...

[Verse 4]

And I went to the funeral in the rain...

And I went to the funeral in the rain...

And I went to the funeral in the rain
