SONG FOR THE RETURNING

I'm only speaking today to the forgiven
In a vague undefinable way you're the living
A message from the dead:
Make the most of your chance
Don't throw it away
Now you've got your new dance

Only speaking today from the yearning
You know you threw it away - somehow you're returning
You were cast down - left to drown
Instead you're living again
Arise again the walking dead

Into her open arms, wide for you
Into her open arms
This is a song for the returned
I'm dead in case you hadn't heard

I'm only speaking today because I miss her
I don't expect you to pray while you kiss her
Or think of me when you're alone in her eyes
But don't be surprised 
If she's more careful when she lets you...
