about

fond farewell to private hell

lyrics

the rooster proudly crows
but he can never know
that this neighbourhood's set
in melancholy rows

as we look to the seat of the swing
to the apples that you would bring
to the house that you once filled, where I'd heard you sing

it all seems so unfair: where do you go when you're not there?
despite all of the joy
all the crosswords that you'd filled
the slow march of time still had you killed

all I can do is grimace with a baffled dismay
at the photographs in the kitchen
of your beaming face

I knew you in the before, will I meet you in the after?
did that closing casket really crush the love and the laughter?

I will carry you with me forever.
