Grotesquerie -

It has been so long since

I have seen the light of day

Sickness fell upon our home

And carried you away

Tearing out, tearing out

You’re tearing out my heart

Long ago and far away

When everything was grand

I held you just like a bird

Within my tired hand

Tearing out, tearing out

You’re tearing out my heart

Though I know that everything

Will never be the same

Still I wander through the house

A-whimpering your name

Tearing out, tearing out

Tearing out my heart
