Benediction lyrics

It's a ugly day in Glendale In a place that you once knew Where you held that senile woman That now has outlived you I'm still taking it all in I'm adapting to this loss I wonder if she remembers you How could she have forgotten There's a crack in the shelf And some light is shining through As I sorted through the pieces They told the stories I never knew You left a hole in this earth And you paid for it up front I had to fill it with dirt While your friend sang the song May the lord Mighty God Bless and keep you forever Grant you peace Perfect peace Courage in every endeavor It was a sunny day in Norfolk Next to the tree that caught your eye I walked the ground you grew on With my brother at my side I'm still taking it all in I'm adapting to this loss People say that with time it gets easier But I just think that they are wrong You left a hole in this earth And you paid for it up front I had to fill it with dirt While your friend sang the song May the lord Mighty God Bless and keep you forever Grant you peace Perfect peace Courage in every endeavor
