《So Long Before Her Grave》歌词

[00:00:00] So Long Before Her Grave - Glorytellers

[00:00:01] They ain't raised the rent

[00:00:04] Since a democrat was president

[00:00:08] Last time they freed the roof from soggy leaves

[00:00:14] Bells line the sills customer our current resident

[00:00:21] Rainwater shooting from the eaves

[00:00:26] No one cut the lawn since the uncles

[00:00:30] And the kids are gone

[00:00:32] Flew in last minute for the services

[00:00:38] Came with only carry-ons

[00:00:40] Three days then left for home at dawn

[00:00:44] Couldn't stand the dust and dirty dishes

[00:00:50] How will you know you are mourning

[00:00:54] Will tears cascade like rain

[00:01:00] Will grey grey clouds give warning

[00:01:05] Will the weather bring your pain

[00:01:35] As others wept you stayed upstairs and overslept

[00:01:41] Watched Johnny Carson as the wake went late

[00:01:47] What does he do all day

[00:01:49] Do you believe the way this place is kept

[00:01:53] You hear them criticize and castigate

[00:01:59] But they weren't here to witness birthdays

[00:02:02] Graduations missed

[00:02:05] So many years

[00:02:06] Since we gave a sh*t about that lawn

[00:02:09] And that long long list of clinics

[00:02:14] Shrinks and therapists

[00:02:17] So long before her grave she was gone

[00:02:22] How will you know you are mourning

[00:02:27] Will thunder make your plane

[00:02:32] Will it first forebode then come stormin'

[00:02:38] Low to precipitate

[00:03:06] How will you know you are mourning

[00:03:10] Will thunder make your plane

[00:03:15] Will it first forebode then come stormin'

[00:03:21] Low to precipitate

[00:03:26] Low to precipitate
