A Death in the Family Songtext
von Juan Alban

I felt the news
Through the telephone
I heard you speak
There has been a death in the family
She is at peace


The plans make us make a funeral and
We forget to eat
We cry and I try to remember
The last thing you said to me
I think you said

We drive to a cemetary on a hill
We take off our shoes
And I can tell that there isn′t one of us
Who wouldn't lay down in the ground beside you
If they could


We go to a bowling club from the seventies
Watch strangers fill their plates
We smile and drink to your memory
And envy the rest you′ll get
And we say
