lyrics

C Major // Scored for:

Flutes, 3 Bb Clarinets, 2 Bassoons, 3 Bb Trumpets, Trombone, Tuba
Piano, Synthesizers
Timpani, Snare, Crash/Suspended Cymbal, Sleigh Bells, Concert Bass Drum

When you fell, fell on your knees,
With your conscience standing by.
There was blood, blood on the grass,
A champion you will not cry.
When you fell, fell in the snow,
Plastic sleds in blue and red.
Drag the wood, from barn to the house,
Through the cold we trudge and shout.

When you fell, fell in the sand,
Sugar soft slip through my hand
Little walks, my back is your steed
Blow the horn send the sun to sleep

When I drove, up gravel drive
With my conscience standing by.
Signs for sale, emptied and cleaned,
For a moment I swear the sun was green.

I, don’t believe it,
There’s a funeral for my home.
