The Cure - The Funeral Party

Two pale figures
Ache in silence.
Timeless
In the quiet ground.
Side by side
In age and sadness.

I watched
And acted wordlessly, As piece by piece
You performed your story, Moving through an unknown past
Dancing at the funeral party.

Memories of childrens dreams
Lie lifeless
Fading
Lifeless.
Hand in hand with fear and shadows, Crying at the funeral party.

I heard a song
And turned away, As piece by piece, You performed your story.
Noiselessly across the floor
Dancing at the funeral party...
