Buried in Blue

                         Sweet as mother's milk
                         And clear as the wind
                         Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk
                         Blue is the color to be buried in

                         The painting's complete
                         The brushstrokes dry
                         I hear a band playing
                         A bent note or two
                         I guess someone died
                         And just wants to be
                         Buried in blue

Buried in Blue
