Funeral Girl (Don’t Leave Yet)... You came in black lace At your cousin's wake Lipstick red as wine Hands cold on the plate Folded up your heart In a church-folded note Smiled at the flowers Like you knew they would go And I saw you there By the back row door Counting every loss Like you've done before Your eyes said stay Your mouth said leave I couldn't tell Which one you mean Funeral girl You break my frame Funeral girl You call my name Black veil spinning Down the aisle Funeral girl Stay a while (stay a while) You keep old receipts In a shoe box lid Names and little dates Things you never forgive You pin white roses To your coat at dusk Like every goodbye Belongs to us And I saw you there By the back row door Counting every loss Like you've done before Your eyes said stay Your mouth said leave I couldn't tell Which one you mean Funeral girl You break my frame Funeral girl You call my name Black veil spinning Down the aisle Funeral girl Stay a while (stay a while) If you cried, you'd flood the room If you laughed, I'd follow you You wear grief like Saturday shoes Tired, perfect, overdue Take my hand Or let me go Either way I want you close Funeral girl You break my frame Funeral girl You call my name Black veil spinning Down the aisle Funeral girl Stay a while (stay a while) Funeral girl Don't say goodbye Funeral girl Look in my eyes When the candles dim And the last bells ring Funeral girl Make me sing (make me sing)
