Cory Croft & the Band of Phantoms - A Proper Burial Lyrics

A funeral
Abruptly thrown off course and
Swirling like blood
Down the drain
Into the hands of demise

She wrote my name in
Lipstick on her mirror
On the way down
The hands of fate began
To play my song
A ghost turning around

I've seen her face and I know
A brush with death
In broad strokes
A blink
A wish
A lost soul
A proper burial

This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end

Letting go
Off all the leaves that I hold
I've lived for the taste of rain
And died for the
Dreams and hopes

She is the fog
Between these wooden bones
We will be fine
The sleepwalker that warms
The winter's hopes
So goodbye Madeline

I've seen her face and I know
A brush with death
In broad strokes
A blink
A wish
A lost soul
A proper burial

I've savored them all
The times we lied
The times we cried
The times we saved
Each other's lives
All is forgiven now

I've seen her face and I know
A brush with death
In broad strokes
A blink
A wish
A lost soul
A proper burial

I've seen her face and I know
This brush with death
Is my home
The time is now
To prepare for
My proper burial

My proper burial
My proper burial
All is forgiven now

A proper burial
The times we lied
The times we cried
The times we saved
Each other's lives
All is forgiven now

The times we lied
The times we cried
The times we saved
Each other's lives
All is forgiven now
