Near a Garden
G
Near a little garden
Am
flowers wild grasses
A
C
body’s in the casket,
Am
milk is in the carton
G
Coffee’s on the brew and
Am
cars quietly pass
as
C
people hear from last re
Am
spects, collective view.
The
G
face of the deceased all
Am
emptied of emotion
C
waiting for distortions
Am
of it’s perfect features.
G
In a little clearing
Am
where they’ll put the coffin
and the
C
n shuffle off and
Am
afternoon is nearing
G
You were once a
Am
live, b
C
ody then you d
G
ied.
I’ll sing your name with my ins
Am
trument
but
C
one day it will leave my ha
G
nd.
I’m
G
skipping like a stone just a
Am
couple skips then gone
to the
C
bottom of a pond where
Am
sun can never go and
G
resting at the bottom
Am
who knows what I’ll find there
C
no one can divine where
Am
friends go when we’ve lost them
G
movie on the plane home said “
Am
life is for the living”
as
C
I sat slowly living,
Am
paralysed with boredom
G
flying through the thin air
Am
skimming over cities
and
C
isn’t it a pity
Am
why we can’t grow old there.
G
Doesn’t it feel
Am
strange
C
to wait on this
G
change?
Well the pilot tips his
Am
instruments knowing
C
one day they will rust upon
G
land
