I cried at the wake of course
I smoked outside the door
And we spoke in quiet circles
About the pain nothing would cure
We said, at least she does not suffer anymore
For every day, you couldn't bear
For every night that ran you raw
For all the words you didn't have
To name the things you saw
At least you do not suffer anymore
My anger is useless
And impossible to ignore
Is that your shadow in the corner keeping score?
At least you do not suffer anymore
Prayers to whisper
Drinks to pour
'Cause you had so much left in store
We build a fire, we let it roar
'Cause you had so much left in store
I saw a stranger
In a jacket that you wore
And it hurt me to remember
The girl I knew before
Well at least you do not suffer anymore
Even way back then
You were a prisoner of war
Your smiles were twisted as the driftwood
That washed up on the shore
At least you do not suffer anymore
The jury's out, decision split
Was it bravery, was it cowardice?
No, nobody is sure
Because we suffer more and more
But we know that you don't suffer anymore
Prayers to whisper, drinks to pour
'Cause you had so much left in store
We build a fire, we let it roar
Because you had so much left, you had so much left in store
Prayers to whisper, drinks to pour
'Cause you had so much left in store
We build a fire, we letting it roar
'Cause you had so much left, you had so much left
Maybe we die so others can be born
Maybe we age so others can be young
Maybe the point of life is live
Love if we can and pass it on
We miss you
