Funeral Song - Laura Gibson

[00:00.88]If these bare walls could sing
[00:06.14]They would sing us a funeral song
[00:12.00]Push their wooden words into your mouth
[00:22.45]They would not wish to be
[00:27.49]A burden to your tongue
[00:32.74]Would not wish to carry on
[00:37.66]Too long
[00:43.66]With no sorrow
[00:48.14]Ask no greater pardon
[00:52.83]Than the pattern
[00:54.85]Time is carving in your skin
[01:03.93]If these pale bones could sway
[01:08.94]They would march to a funeral song
[01:14.16]And pull their milky way across the yard
[01:24.10]They would not wish to keep
[01:28.97]You tethered to their arms
[01:34.08]They would not wish to carry on too far
[01:44.68]With no sorrow
[01:49.18]Ask no greater pardon
[01:53.66]Than the pattern
[01:55.54]Time is carving in your skin
[02:24.16]Well if I could stretch my ears
[02:29.00]Into a grand procession
[02:34.02]And circle around your wisdom
[02:37.69]Like a song
[02:43.63]I would not wish to be
[02:48.45]The fire in your belly
[02:52.91]I would not wish for
[02:55.96]Holding you too long
[03:04.35]With no sorrow
[03:08.69]Ask no greater pardon
[03:13.11]Than the pattern
[03:14.94]Time is carving in your skin
