Lyrics

Hey Father Death, I'm flying home Hey poor man, you're all alone Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going Father Death, don't cry anymore Mama's there underneath the floor Brother Death, please mind the store Old Auntie Death, don't hide your bones Old Uncle Death, I hear your groans Oh Sister Death, how sweet your moans Oh children Death, go breathe your breaths Sobbing breasts, oh ease your deaths Pain is gone, tears take the rest Genius Death, your art is done Lover Death, your body's gone Father Death, I'm coming home Guru Death, your words are true Teacher Death, I do thank you For inspiring me to sing this blues Buddha Death, I wake with you Dharma Death, your mind is new Sangha Death, we'll work it through Suffering is what was born Ignorance made me forlorn Dear full truths I cannot scorn Father Breath, once more farewell Birth you gave was nothing ill My heart is still as time will tell Guru Death, your words are true Teacher Death, I do thank you For inspiring me to sing this blues Father Breath, once more farewell Birth you gave was nothing ill My heart is still as time will tell
