bjornpdx Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I posted this song 5 years ago. I recorded it again today hoping my voice would sound better. It doesn't sound better but I like the lyrics so here it is again. Thanks for listening/commenting. -Bjorn I read the obituaries all the way thru They're a story of a life in a paragraph or two Your name is in the paper and your picture's in there too There's some really nice things said about you I'm checking out the names, cause maybe I knew them And I'm checking out the ages, maybe I passed them Obituaries. Something there to learn The main thing is you're gonna get your turn Well here's a lady she was 99 Made it that far cause she drank a little wine She said Live your day like it's your last Cause that final one is coming up fast Here's a man he liked to go fishing There's a picture of him with a really big salmon He caught that fish maybe 30 years ago Guess his life after that was only so so Here's a picture of a guy when he was in the Navy He came back home and married sweetheart Mabel She passed away just last May They weren't apart long, now were they Well everyone here was so much admired They were always successful whatever they tried They went from ordinary to toast of the town When all they did was exit the here and now In lieu of flowers Send some money instead To the charity named after Whatever made you dead And here's a lady her name was Nadine She outlived everyone at a hundred thirteen She must have been happy there at the end She'd become a teenager again Now I don't mean to be insensitive You know I've lost some friends and some relatives It's just my way of facing the fact That my time on this stage gonna fade into black I'm checking out the names, cause maybe I knew them And I'm checking out the ages, maybe I passed them Obituaries. Something there to learn The main thing is you're gonna get your turn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
