Minor Key Symphony

Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place

And it read, "I wish you were here,I wish you were"

And the soundtrack, the soundtrack from my better night

And it's sang "I wish you were here

You should have stayed here"

As light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died

Looks like I didn't make it through the night

I never got to say good-bye

I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world

That barely knew I was alive

Sing a requiem for me

Make it sad, but sweet

A song about release

A minor key symphony

Found a letter, a letter from my dear old friend

And it said, "I wish you were here,

I wish you were"

And a prayer, a prayer in a familiar voice

And she wept, "I wish you were here,

Why can't you be here?"

As light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died

Looks like I didn't make it through the night

I never got to say good-bye

I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world

That barely knew I was alive

Sing a requiem for me

Make it sad, but sweet

A song about release

A minor key symphony

I got your flowers today

So perfectly arranged

With a card attached, "I'm sorry you could not stay"

They came a little late

I had to wait till they died

There's no tears up here

But I'm sure that I would have cried.

To everyone I've loved

To all who once loved me

I never meant to leave

I never got to say good-bye

I'll never get to say anything at all again to the world

That barely knew I was alive

Sing a requiem for me

Make it sad, but sweet

A song about release

A minor key symphony
