Wake up call
David Brown

Today I got a wake up call
In a pew at a funeral

The day was cold as death
You could see everybody's breath
So you knew who was still alive
Although, some breath was Malboro Lights

We shuffled in like refugees
A wooden box and wooden seats

And those who had to stand
They all looked up with clasped hands
Like they were all in a lift
Checking which way the numbers lit

Hold me as close as your thoughts
Let us know love before loss

Some words were said but not for long
Then they played a favourite song

A last request
In the Chapel of rest
And it was beautifully sung
Sung by a singer who died young

Hold me as close as your thoughts
Let us know love before loss

And as the casket disappeared
I thought of all the wasted years

My eyes were wellin' up
So I tilted my head up
And what did I behold
All the Crem’ lights had long-life bulbs

Hold me as close as your thoughts
Let us know love before loss

Today I had a wake-up call
