Devin Townsend Funeral Lyrics

Funeral Lyrics

[Words and music by Devin Townsend]







Jesus, here lies my brother 



Tortured and blown 



Stretch for the heavens and go 



...I watch him go 



Here it comes 







Jesus was a poor boy 



Jesus was a poor boy 



"It's justa spring clean for the May queen" 



I'm coming home 







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 







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... 







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... 







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...
