Father Death Blues (Don’t Grow Old, Part V)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hey poor man, you’re all alone
\nHey old daddy, I know where I’m going<\/p>\n

Father Death, Don’t cry any more
\nMama’s there, underneath the floor
\nBrother Death, please mind the store<\/p>\n

Old Aunty Death\u00a0 Don’t hide your bones
\nOld Uncle Death\u00a0 I hear your groans
\nO Sister Death\u00a0 how sweet your moans<\/p>\n

O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths
\nSobbing breasts’ll ease your Deaths
\nPain is gone, tears take the rest<\/p>\n

Genius Death\u00a0 your art is done
\nLover Death\u00a0 your body’s gone
\nFather Death\u00a0 I’m coming home<\/p>\n

Guru Death your words are true
\nTeacher Death I do thank you
\nFor inspiring me to sing this Blues<\/p>\n

Buddha Death, I wake with you
\nDharma Death, your mind is new
\nSangha Death, we’ll work it through<\/p>\n

Suffering is what was born
\nIgnorance made me forlorn
\nTearful truths I cannot scorn<\/p>\n

Father Breath once more farewell
\nBirth you gave was no thing ill
\nMy heart is still, as time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
