Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two pale figures ache in silence
Timeless in the quiet ground
Side by side in age and sadness
[Verse 2]
I watched and acted wordlessly
As piece by piece, you performed your story
Moving through an unknown past
Dancing at the funeral party
[Verse 3]
Memories of children's dreams
Lie lifeless, fading lifeless
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
Crying at the funeral party
[Verse 4]
I heard a song and turned away
As piece by piece, you performed your story
Noiselessly across the floor
Dancing at the funeral party
