RIP

I sit at the window and start to cry

I watch the crowd below go by

On their faces they’re personalities glimmer

And my skin begins to shiver

I grab a tissue and wipe my eye

No one sees their brother die

I just can’t believe that he’s gone

And that his funeral I have come from

His burial it was so very beautiful

Of peoples affections have been bountiful

To show the love and the respect

My brother I’m sorry I couldn’t protect

That car that came out of the alley. Tom

That’s the gun that you got shot from

Right before my very eye

His head in my lap I watched him die

So I look out of this window now

And hope to god that he knows somehow

How deeply for him my love is

And that him I’ll really truly miss.
