Cold Box

He went away in a cold box

In a cold box, he went

On to meet those who died before

Those who died before he went

Away in a cold box

And around him, we wailed



Everybody cried, everybody wailed

He went away in a cold box

Dead.

Everybody cried, everybody wailed

He went away in a cold box

Dead.



(Dead, Dead, Dead-0, Dead)



He looked so young, in this cold box

Where breathless, he lay

Leaving those who needed him alive

Alive for a long long while

He looked so young, in this cold box

And around him we wailed



Everybody cried, everybody wailed

He went away in a cold box

Dead.

Everybody cried, everybody wailed

He went away in a cold box

Dead.



(Dead, Dead, Dead-0, Dead)



He went first but

Later we shall go

Away in a cold box

Dead.
