Lyrics:
Farewell to Ed, for Ed is dead The careless boy is laid to rest A velvet floor to place his head An empty bed, a wooden chest Still beautiful in death The moisture fogs my breath Two hundred lowered eyes A hundred mute goodbyes I never thought your threats would come good You never did what you said you would Your mum and dad, they look so old All huddled up in inky cloth I'm not surprised, this room is cold It's empty too, it stinks of loss I sat with Dan and drank some beer We hadn't spoken since last year I took his hand, led him upstairs Silently drew his body near I couldn't see, missed you so much Missed you so much I had to fuck Between your sheets, a childhood clean The pillows painted with your dreams I didn't want to stop and think How I should have said a thousand things Yeah, but, hey, like we agreed, I will be brave I will pour whiskey on your grave Smoke cigarettes amongst the stones Sprinkle champagne upon your bones If burial restricts your view I'll bring the city here to you I'll pack the river and the clock Wrap it into a picnic box With golden bulbs and crystal mugs My dancing heels will feel the mud We'll disco boogie 'til the dawn I'll teach this village how to mourn A living room in future times You're just a face above my fire A funeral sound, a distant chime I'll think of this and I will cry Perhaps I'll drop my task The sound of shattered glass Thought I'd forgot at last Some things just never pass Easy to say, hard to believe There'll come a day that I don't grieve Until the time my body leaves I will regret that you don't breathe
