lyrics

Late great flowers bloom

Over grandma's tomb

Where grandpa was buried

Pallbearers carried

The tune through the trees

A white painted breeze

Over shivering black coats

Smoke-lung parade floats

Past Jesus as a sheet ghost

A snow-colored Holy Host

Visions left unheard

Far beyond remembered

Dead songbirds sing amen

When the late great flowers live again

Icicle-covered stones

Rise above dead bones

Embedded bodies get cold feet

And dreams left incomplete

Leave all those hard-earned savings

In hyphenated engravings

I miss my dead grandparents

In dreams they make appearances

While the cemetery freezes

They rest in peace and I rest in pieces

Visions left unheard

Far beyond remembered

Dead songbirds sing amen

When the late great flowers live again
