Lyrics
Which language should I mourn in for you?
Which colors should I wear
On the day we take your name
Out of address books
And into a Yahrzeit prayer
Your sisters wouldn't understand?
Your brother, your daughter, your wife
Your promise, your duty, your roof
Your shoulders too heavy with life
Your candle too hollow with truth
Hills of flesh eroded by the gullies of despair
Trickling in Cadillacs proportioned to receding hair
Which language should I mourn in?
What colors should I wear
On the day we add your name
To the Yahrzeit prayer?
Sealing up the window cracks and hoarding all the air
Rocking like a passenger on unmarked roads needing repair
Cross the bridge and we begin the holy unprepared
On the day we add your name
To the Yahrzeit prayer
Your brother, your daughter, your wife
Your promise, your duty, your roof
Your shoulders too heavy with life
Your candle too hollow with truth
