Текст песни: Cemeteries + перевод

Driving all alone past cemeteries in the country

Soybeans and power lines, curves and morning fog

Standing in the church, a capella songs of mourning

Rise above as tears are falling, the family’s somber calls of «why?»

I am just a new boy in this family full of grief

Maintaining somber postures in this time of disbelief

Driving in the lineup, headlights on and all along

To another cemetery in the middle of the road

Tears in her eyes she said, «The worst is yet to come

With one-third already gone, and two-thirds left to succumb

To roads with a bridge out or to lightning from the sky

There’s so many ways to die, and no one can tell me why»

«Why you standing there boy

With your fancy suit and tie?

Can’t you tell we’re dressed in black?

She ain’t never coming back»

As they lowered down her body into the cold and somber ground

I turn around and realize they’re looking up, I’m looking down

Faith will never leave you when it’s all you’re clinging to

But it’s a time of much distractions, I’m standing all alone

Lying in the cemetery, names and dates and flowers

Grass so freshly mown, angels made of stone

Cars may pass on by me now, some might even stop

To bring me plastic flowers or to look at me and ask themselves

Ask themselves why

Ask yourself

Why
