lyrics
No Tears at Your Grave
He was a London Transport driver,
gripped that wheel for many years. drove that bus throughout the lockdown,
did his duty, hid his fear, Tears were shed, not at his grave, no tears, shed at his grave, no Brothers lined the graveyard, no sisters flanked his grave.
While, nursing the sick and dying,
mothers’ text, it helped you through. Simply said, I love you my darling,
keep safe, I’m proud of you x. Tears she shed, not at your grave,
no tears, shed at your grave, no mother there to say goodbye,
no mourners at your grave.
For those tears were shed at distance, form, weeping, bloodshot eyes, watching the live stream, of proceedings, like a groom without the bride. No final kiss upon the forehead, no gathering of the Clan, no sad handshakes, of condolence, tender hugs or black armbands.
They cried their tears, not at your grave, best friends eulogy, not made , just the live stream of proceeding , no mourners at your grave.
You loved those old folk in that care home,
times where tough, but your where kind where you a victim of indifference,
when you died on our front line.
Tears were shed, not at your grave, no tears, shed at your grave, they remember your smile and your laughter, but shed no tears at your grave
For those tears were shed at distance,
in a thousand different rooms, watching a lives tream of the proceedings,
like a bride without the groom,
no neighbors shoulder bore the casket,
no favorite niece to sing the psalm, no sad handshakes of condolence,
tears now shed in every land.
They cried their tears, not at your graves, best friends eulogy not made just a live stream of the proceeding, no tears shed at your grave.
Now your life’s a living memory, for the loved ones who survived, who always knew you were essential, long before these tears they cried
