Minor Key Symphony -

Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place

And it read, «I wish you were here, I wish you were»

And it sounds like the soundtrack from my better night

And it sang, «I wish you were here.

You should have stayed here»

As light leaves my eyes

I realize I must have died

It looks like I didn’t make it through the night

I’m never gonna say goodbye

I’m never gonna say anything at all against the world

That barely knew I was alive

Sing a requiem for me

Make it sad but sweet

A song about release

A minor key symphony

Found a letter

A letter from my dear old friend

And it said, «I wish you were here, I wish you were»

And a prayer, a prayer in a familiar voice

And she wept, «I wish you were here, why can’t you be here?»

Cause when I close my eyes

I realize I must have died

It looks like I didn’t make it through the night

I’m never gonna say goodbye

I’m never gonna say anything at all against the world

That barely knew I was alive

Sing a requiem for me

Make it sad but sweet

A song about release

A minor key symphony

I got your flowers today

So perfectly arranged

With a card attached, that says «Sorry you could not stay»

They came a little late, I had to wait to reply

There’s no tears up here

But surely I would have cried

To everyone I loved.

To all the ones I need.

I never meant to leave

I’m never gonna say goodbye

I’m never gonna say anything at all against the world

That barely knew I was alive

Sing a requiem for me

Make it sad but sweet

A song about release

A minor key symphony

Sing a requiem for me

Make it sad but sweet

A song about release

A minor key symphony
