Dermot Kennedy - Funeral

 Dermot Kennedy - Funeral

We were staring down disaster
That night we almost called it quits
You said that you were changing chapters
I said this can’t be where it ends
Not even poetry can fix this
Right now we both need more than words
If we give up we’re gonna miss this
Can we remember who we were
 
Standing on St Brigid’s road 
Where we finally let it go 
 
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn’t bother buying roses
Cause we ain’t going back 
I don’t know nothing bout tomorrow
I barely know about today 
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watch the hurt go up in flames
 
Grief is such a solid promise
Joy just leaves you in the rain 
Sadness waits down in the lobby
Solace stood you up again 
I’m thankful for the darkness
Every thing it let me see
So much beauty in the storm 
Like how you turned to me
If I’m honest you’re the reason
That the light gets in at all 
You’re the song that breaks the silence
You’re the smile at curtain call
I’m scared of who I’d be without you 
Much more than you know
If I seem strong it’s just a show
 
Standing on St Brigid’s road
Where we finally let it go 
 
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn’t bother buying roses
Cause we ain’t going back 
I don’t know nothing bout tomorrow
I barely know about today 
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watch the hurt go up in flames
 
Oh no, no, we ain’t ever going back
Oh no, no, we ain’t ever going back 
 
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn’t bother buying roses
Cause we ain’t going back 
I don’t know nothing bout tomorrow
I barely know about today 
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watch the hurt go up in flames
