Life and ever after

For our world you haven’t left any looks

There’s just an empty space where you stood

We’re standing in a queue, and we’ve come to say goodbye

And we know it’s too soon, but you had to die

Everything changes in life and ever after

We stand here and cry, but remember your laughter

It’s too loud for a dead one, how we’d loved it alive

We will follow you mate, but it’ll take us a while

Now I am the next one to see you off

It’s the last words you said that I am thinking of

“Wish me good luck on my way, if you can,

And would you, please, leave a penny for the ferryman?”

Everything changes in life and ever after

We stand here and cry, but remember your laughter

It’s too loud for a dead one, how we’d loved it alive

We will follow you mate, but it’ll take us a while

I throw the penny and ask if you don’t mind

Reserving me a seat on your cloud at your side

Everything changes in life and ever after

We stand here and cry, but remember your laughter

It’s too loud for a dead one, how we’d loved it alive

We will follow you mate, but it’ll take us a while

Everything changes in life and ever after

We stand here and cry, but remember your laughter

It’s too loud for a dead one, how we’d loved it alive

We will follow you mate, but it’ll take us a while

And hopefully it’s gonna take a long time
