The Local Bar - what a cemetery can become in the wake of someone's passing..

Lyrics:
The sky is empty
There’s not one songbird flying over head
Asked God a question
Why do the dying always end up dead

There’s a drowning in the cemetery
Or suppose the “local bar”
It’s become my sanctuary
Because it’s where you are

I’m filled with sadness
There are no happy hour specials here
Sit by your gravesite
Strange kind of comfort knowing you are near

In contemplation  
What more I wonder could be done or said
Where was our Savior?
He watched in silence while the monster spread

There’s a drowning in the cemetery
Or suppose the “local bar”
It’s become my sanctuary
Because it’s where you are

Feel stuck in honey
Can’t stop the heavy flowing of my tears
It will get better
It might take eons, blue moons, might take years

Your life did matter
But you were never given a fair chance
It drowns the sorrow
One more for last call, save me, the last dance

There’s a drowning in the cemetery
Or suppose the “local bar”
It’s become my sanctuary
Because it’s where you are

The Local Bar

A song for my cousin, Cully, taken far too soon. He was, is, and always will be "One in a Million".

Lyrics:
It’s hard to accept that God has a plan
Especially when we don’t understand
But He can’t blame you for trying
To stop him from dying..
So young

Held onto hope for as long as he could
The time had come like we knew that it would
But when you can’t stern the canker
You have to pull anchor.. 
And glide

Life is a mystery
It all becomes history
He’s one in a million
Still fishing Vermillion
...it’s just done in Heaven now (it’s just done in Heaven now)

He heard every word that you softly spoke
When you said goodbye, he knew your heart broke
But when the fish are not biting
It’s time to stop fighting..
For them

Life is so precious, keep living, be free
Cry when you need to then let it be
It’s a gift to stay open
Even when broken..
You’ll see

Life is a mystery
It all becomes history
He’s one in a million
Still fishing Vermillion
...it’s just done in Heaven now (it’s just done in Heaven now)

Whatever comes today or tomorrow
Please do your best to let go of sorrow
But when you find yourself reeling
Drop into that feeling..
And heed

Might be a song you hear in the shower
A hummingbird or a Lily flower
Might be the breeze rustling the pines
It’ll be him, sending signs..
To you

He’s one in a million
Still fishing Vermillion

It’s just done in Heaven now (it’s just done in Heaven now)

One in a Million

A playground of sorts for lyricist Tessa Laszlo.  She is the Mine. The Maker will vary. Together they will bring her lyrics to life.
