Funeral Hues
Tommy Sands
Wind the watches, turn the light
Feed the starving minds tonight
Let music play and symbol crash
And guide human nature’s path.
Let free minds speed the earth
To tell the tale of worth
Put ribbons on the wrists of trees
And let the Human be.
There is a life and there is death
The sleeping night and wedding dress.
A sun, the light, a simple way.
I dreamed that life would be today
Shelling stars of time to ply,
Shut up folks and kiss the sky
Soak the moment and the fire
That blessed this life of lyre.
