lyrics

This is a song to counter loneliness
This is a song to hold your head
This is a song to fill your room with candles
This is a song to counter death

When all that you know
Has packed up and left
This is a song to open the window
Get you up on your feet and dressed
Out in the street with the rest of us

This is a song to join the procession
This is a song to know your seven masks
When you reach the tree of sorrows
See the children playing in the grass

This is a song to counter loneliness
This is a song to hold your head
This is a song to fill your room with candles
This is a song to counter death
