We Used to Carve Their Names in Stone
We used to go to the funeral,
Now we go to the memorial.
We used to lay out the body,
Now we lay out the photos.
We used to proceed to the burial,
Now we scatter the ashes.
We used to carve their names in stone.
Now we go to the memorial.
We used to lay out the body,
Now we lay out the photos.
We used to proceed to the burial,
Now we scatter the ashes.
We used to carve their names in stone.
