Body

Come if you’re able
Tears like the leaves fall down
Scenes from your table
We’re moving the body now

Some silence has lifted you from a world unkind
A shroud we have fitted
A sick sad world that you leave behind
But I hear you say

You know my arms are always
You know my arms are always around you
You know my arms are always
You know my arms are always around you

Moving the body now
We’re moving the body now
We’re moving the body now
We’re moving the body now

A book, a piano
Gifts from the muse, in your selfless way
My teacher, my feeder
This red hair’s going nowhere since you went away

I dream her, I see her
The softness of the hands I'm holding in my mind
If only I could keep her
I'm still a little girl that needs you one more time

You said your arms were always
You said your arms were always around me
You said your arms were always
You said your arms were always around me

I’m moving my body now
Just moving my body now
I’m moving my body now
I’m moving my body now

Though I’ve been reaching out
Through all the years, and the years go by
Though I can’t feel you now
Still I can’t feel you near my side

I can’t feel your arms around me
I can’t feel your arms around me anymore
I can’t feel your arms around me
I can’t feel your arms around me anymore
