Rest (She Will)

from On the Shortness of Life by Queen Cabbage

/

lyrics

Will you bear this pall with me? — I will, my friend. I will
Will we fall down to our knees? — I’m sure, my friend, we will.
Let’s sing the songs she loved — We will, my friend. We will
I want all those tears expunged — Let them cry, my friend. They need this.

Try and make the best of this — I will, my friend. I will
It’s really nothing time can’t fix — And heal, my friend, I will
Thomas! Give her one last kiss! — And feel, my friend. Just feel
Before the casket’s all but sealed — And seal, my friend, it will

Will she sleep beneath the earth — Perfectly still and free from harm
Among the roots beneath new birth? — She’ll rot, my friend, but she’ll be warm
Perhaps she’ll rest above the hearth — Or on a lonely windowsill—
I’d rather not take the choice to heart — So long as she’s allowed to lie still.

She will, my friend. She will
She will, my friend. She will
