Mail Order Gun - Brian Hyland

It was near the English Channel

In the town of Dover

Upon a dark November day

He passed away

No one even noticed he was gone

Nobody even missed him at all

Lived by himself at the end of the hall

That’s all

He’s got friends and relatives

They live in New York City

And they should be notified

That he has died

Sixty-Four long years alone goodbye

He lived in the darkness afraid of th sun

Ended his life with a mail order gun

No-on cried, the church was empty

Such a tragic ending

But he’ll rest in peace today

He’s found a way

Kept his feelings locked inside his head

And he did what he thought must be done

Ended his life with a mail order gun
