When you disappear
Who will count the tears
That roll slowly down your cheeks
Splash down at your feet
Who will speak up
Cry it's not fair
When they carry you out
Who will be there
Brother says life is cheap
Papa says it's a crapshoot
Sister says it should have been me
Mama says me too
Nana falls to her knees
Wails like a baby
And they lay you down
Will it all get too hazy too hazy too hazy
When you disappear
Who will turn to drink
And will it go down smoothly
When we think of you at the brink
We take the bus
Or go in a car
When they tell us you're gone
We'll be left with a scar
Will it cause some to preach
Amen to his will
They secretly pine for you
When it's dark and all is still
Or cause them to doubt
His cover's been blown
Will they rise up and boo
These seeds we have sown
