Learn To Say Goodbye

I dressed up all in black, for the funeral today,
My brothers all were there,
And so were you,

We waited there to see,
Which one of us it would be,
To throw the first handful of dirt and walk away

No one else could see,
Who or what just had deceased
No thats for you and me, it's our memory,

Yeah it was our mistakes,
Who bore the casket to the grave,
As we stood with both our hands behind our backs.

No mothers, they don't sing no lullaby,
To the one, the've decided to deny...
And lovers, they must learn to say goodbye.
To the one, they can't love to save their lives,

We both made our attempts
At a eulogy of sorts,
Me I sang my songs, you read from your book.

And I dropped an orange rose,
As we both turned to go,
We went our separate ways, down this same cold road.

No mothers, they don't sing no lullaby,
To the one, the've decided to deny...
And lovers, they must learn to say goodbye.
To the one, they can't love to save their lives,

I still go to see the grave,
Where our make believe is laid,
Wild flowers now grow there they smell just like you.

As the earth takes back her own,
I find the tune to a new song,
Girl the one that I sang for you was just out of my range.
