Blowing Kisses at the Graveyard (original song)

Lyric co-written by Adelle the Great ( http://youtube.com/adellethegreat )

In C on a Martin terz... (capo 5 for those playing the home game)

I smelled the dawn burning, I did not know where I was
I spit into the wind, desperate for just cause
Death he snuck up on me said, "Son you smell just like fear"
I said just buy me drinks until I don't mind being here

You blew kisses at the graveyard
I counted all the stones
Mockingbird don't forget
But he hates to be alone

With hearts of dust and smoke, we abide and we stay
Battening the hatches, for fear the wind might blow us away
You stood there like haunted house, I shuffled in like a bad idea
I said I'll just buy us drinks until we don't mind being here.

You blew kisses at the graveyard
I counted all the stones
Mockingbird don't forget
But he hates to be alone

Mockingbird dont forget
Mockingbird dont forget
Mockingbird dont forget
He just hates to be alone

Pretty poison in the bottle, pretty fruit upon the vine
The ticking of a heart don't mean much to the thunder of time
Death walked up to us said "I won't even shed a tear
But I'll buy you both drinks 'til you don't mind being here"

You blew kisses at the graveyard
I counted all the stones
Mockingbird don't forget
But he hates to be alone

Most excellent. "Thunder of time," a killer line.

That was so damned good I'm walking away from the laptop for a bit to catch my breath and collect my thoughts. And then I'm going to watch it again.
