lyrics

For my son on Father’s Day
There was a bird atop your grave
A turtledove brushed up against the crane
Kathleen grabbed my shirt that day
She tore my collar trying to say
Close your eyes, brother look away

On the goldenrod near the indigo
On the goldenrod near the indigo, he went home

I called the pastor here in town
In the sea my son did drown
Did his death pay for anything
My sister prayed for forty days
Prayer can’t reimburse the grave
He is gone, your daughter dances on

I’m not sure that I believe in anything anymore
Everything’s dying, everyone’s leaving me behind
I’m not sure that I believe in anything anymore but You
