blue tie

July 1st, 2002

listen to mp3
a guy in a blue tie told me you had died
i didn’t believe him but i sat right down and cried
he said he was sorry, he said that he would stay
he put a hand on my shoulder and i cussed it away

i was angry at him, but i don’t know why
he told me the truth when most men would have lied
i’m sorry now for the things i said
to the man who told me you were dead

there are so many questions, i say i’m fine
besides you lies this heart of mine
but i can’t feel, and i asked God
to give me the sorrow to keep you
as close tomorrow

your mom isn’t crying , isn’t that strange
your dad is different, yeah, everything’s changed
the preacher says you’re in a better place
they painted a smile on your face

there are so many questions
i saw i’m fine
beside you lies this
heart of mine
