Arms of Grief (Album Version) Lyrics

The arms of grief

Are all around

And I can hear you, daughter

As you're calling out

After work I turned the keys

But the car just wouldn't start

So Julie helped me jump it

Kept it running

Til Josh and I took it apart

Replaced the ancient battery

Took it back to the apartment lot

When it rains

It pours

All Hell breaks loose

And the Devil has his hey dey

While we're waiting on a Wild Goose

And the Queen of the South

Will rise

Meanwhile the cat's got fleas

Hanging out around his

Eyes

Got back to the apartment

Found Syd swallowed up with tears

The weight of knowing someone's past

Not knowing time-worn years

So we held a ceremony

Sealed the small remains

Ate and

Drank and

Washed the cat

Tried to chase away the pain

Singing Lord

Is this what it means to die

Lord

Lord
