For The Departed Lyrics & Chords By Shayfer James

Just a moment dear I hear someone at the door And the beating of a heart that I hid beneath the floor They've come for me love Save yourself I am far beyond repair They will bury me alive but I'm not inclined to care I am too far gone now So dry your eyes and count to ten they'll have me on the pyre by then forget the man I used to be you'll move a long more easily A moment dear I hear someone in the hall and the plundering of promises we hung up on the wall They've come for us love Save yourself I am bitter to the bone And I'm growing rather fond of the wandering alone I am too far gone now So dry your eyes and count to ten they'll have me on the pyre by then forget the man I used to be you'll move a long more easily Now I must finish what I started I'll write a symphony for the departed I have no time for second chances so I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances The scene begins Your cries become the wind A desperate plea best left unheard Then my contrived goodbye A poet's pantomime A drunken jester's final words Just a moment dear I hear someone at the door And the beating of a heart that I hid beneath They've come for me love Now I must finish what I started I'll write a symphony for the departed I have no time for second chances so I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances Dry your eyes and count to ten They'll have me on the pyre by then
