Dead and Gone and Gone

from Be Still. Stop Dancing. by Whatthe Animalssay

/

about

Written and recorded in Portland, OR, shortly after an acquaintance of mine passed away. Less than a week later Lenord Cohen also dies.

lyrics

Dead and gone and gone,
dead and gone and gone.
Brave in their repose
but cowards I suppose.
Whispered mercies to the quick,
mercies to the quick, to the quick.

The same, by and by,
the same, by and by.
Some light beyond the brow,
your peace, a sacred vow,
but all's forgotten anyhow
forgotten anyhow, anyhow.

All is true, is true
all is true, is true.
There's nothing meant for you
born broken into two
but when you shone your real beauty shone,
now you're dead and gone, dead and gone.
