As they lay her in the ground
And the priest begins to pray
I raise my head and look around
The colors fade to gray
I seek solace in the wind
The world is closing in
Well, hey, I think I’ve lost my way
And, hey, she always led the way
They want to take me from our home
It’s for the best, they say
The house is empty, and I’m alone
They don’t know why I’d stay
But I hear whispers in the walls
And footsteps in the hall
Well, hey,
The world is slowing down
I know I’ve lost my way
It’s so much slower, it’s almost over
And, hey,
They laid her in the ground
She always led the way
Their words are hollow, for I can’t follow
