The Wake (Stardust & Whiskey)

Throw all the windows wide open But make sure the curtains are drawn Stop the clock and cover the mirrors Until all of the spirits are gone And the boys are done with their weeping And the girls have all gone to bed Raise a glass to the departed Because all of the words have been said You are born today Third times a charm, you are new again On your way From the world and its agony Rise up and come with me Rise up and come home with me The ground is wet from a Springtime rain The flowers laid round so discreetly The air it rings as the songbirds sing Of a promise sweet as honey So put on your black and your best dress shoes Don't mind the mud we are dragging 'Cause we all break the bonds of this earth in the end And we all end up forgiven You are born today Third times a charm, you are new again On your way From the world and its agony Rise up and come with me Rise up and come home with me The choices we've made and the games we have played Have written the chapters we've lived in And we've been here so long we stopped counting our sins As we patiently wait for the ending But no worries friend, you've had your last breath And lead us all into the gloaming Follow we shall when it is god's will Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey
