David Scheinost -

Spending countless hours burning the midnight oil

Chasing away the sun until our legs are weak Spinning a yarn to waitresses

about the days of old,

and to whoever else wanted to hear it

They wouldn’t recognize us

without a bottle in our hand

We’ll sing along with songs

until our voices grow hoarse and our tongues chafe.

We would hold the moon and

stars in the sky

When the sun slept we felt so alive.

I swear I’ll never let these memories go.

Tell me now, did it hurt when the devil

broke your body.

Because I’m eagerly awaiting the answer

and I have so many questions to ask you.

Tell me what it’s like to see the face of God.

Speak to me of eternity.

Please don’t worry,

You will live on through our stories.

We’ll use the happiness you brought to mend the holes in our hearts.

Tell me now, did it hurt when the devil broke your body.

Because I’m eagerly

awaiting the answer and I have so many questions to ask you.

Please believe me when I say that family is forever.

Your body may be broken,

But your spirit lives forever.

Your body may be broken,

But family is forever.
