Mourn Your Losses

from Clocks and Hearts Keep Going by Tanya Davis

/

about

my friend said, 'what if there was a graveyard and instead of people buried there would be, instead, the memories of all our old loves?!'
that made me sad.
i would rather lose then mourn then love again.

lyrics

mark it with a cross, place upon it a stone
for all the loves you lost, the ones who let you go
and you could take a walk there, you could weep and moan
for the buried bones
you're never gonna hold

pick a pretty spot you might want to come there often
high on a cliff top where there are waves for watching
and if the spirits talk there is wind as haunting
as their voices calling

for love that has died
for love that you tried
love is denied and you don't know why
oh oh oh

pick a daisy chain and throw the petals in the air
feel the pain again and be grateful it is there
name the names that made you know your heart is something that you share

and every fine tear
all the sadness you wear
all the breakups you bear
brought you to here oh oh oh
