New Balance & D.C.R. Pollock - Funeral Singer

The balloons float like baby blue specters
While Jenn stresses over the family cramming all in one place
Never anticipated being a funeral singer
I just stumbled into the whole affair saying
When I die, hallelujah by and by
When I die, hallelujah by and by

Uncle John's rougher friends want to relate to the sermon
"Jesus taught us to love everyone"
and some of us still try
The look of aching on his siblings faces etched in my mind
As I sang
When I die, hallelujah by and by
When I die, hallelujah by and by

The cousins seem to be busy in the kitchen
All the Marthas & Mathews distracting themselves for now
But really everyday we all avoid being present somehow
That's why I sing

When I sigh, hallelujah by and by
When I try, hallelujah by and by
When I cry, hallelujah by and by
When I'm fine, hallelujah by and by
