Prayers To Whisper

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
