lyrics

I went back to my old hometown
And watched them lower you into the ground
I don't know what you were looking for
But you don't have to look anymore

Do the band still play, if there's no-one at the wake?
Can you tell how much I loved you by the size of the cake?
I caught myself in the mirror, and straightened up my tie
We'd have laughed about the lousy food, if you were still alive

If you were still alive.

I was on tour when they called me on the phone
Are you sitting down? Are you alone?
They said you'd had an episode
They told me that you gave up hope

Do the band still play, if there's no-one at the wake?
Can you tell how much I loved you by the look on my face?
I caught myself in the mirror, and straightened up my tie
We'd have laughed about the lousy food, if you were still alive

I found myself going quiet in the corner of the room
A funeral's a funny way to spend an afternoon
When I left the church your parents didn't understand
Why I couldn't shake them by the hand.
