Well, I've given this one to Checkerbored, to put in her collection, so i thought i might as well send this out to all you people out here in the gret expanse of the Net. It's my latest song (well that i see fit to publish), called, for simplcity, "The Funeral Song" 
 
The Funeral Song 
 
As I see the crimson, 
I hear the band playing 
Not solemnly for me 
 
Playing my chords, 
Singing my lyrics, 
i wish i could hear it 
my road to nowhere wand'rings 
finally revealed... out loud 
 
What would you do, 
If my life was swept away,  
would you grieve, 
would you honour me? 
would you play my song, 
would you do it.. for me. 
 
It trickles down my arm,  
and i finally see the harm, 
the i put on all the faces of my friends 
 
Playing my bari 
Reciting my poem 
my soul is torn 
and so are the words 
upon this sheet... of mine 
 
What would you do,  
If my life was swept away? 
Would you grieve,  
would you honour me? 
would you play my song, 
would you do it.. for me.. 
 
my vision is blurring, 
my life no longer stirring 
my time is almost up. 
 
Singing the notation 
I hear all the lyrics 
from my seat above the crowd 
I wish you could see me 
so proud of you all 
no better friends could ever... be found 
 
What would you do,  
If my life was swept away? 
Would you grieve,  
would you honour me? 
would you play my song, 
would you do it.. for me.. 
 
What would you do,  
If my life was swept away? 
Would you grieve,  
would you honour me? 
would you play my song, 
would you do it.. for me..

Great song, Biff... it really makes you think about the aftermath of life and remembrance.

Rest assured you've got a few decades to forget about it.
