Mary Elizabeth

Mary Elizabeth passed away,
One month into spring
And I listened to my mother cry,
I saw the Dead Sea running from her eyes
Don't be surprised
When your grandmother dies
Springs gone stay around here,
The dead is reborn each year
And the bloom is just a disguise,
I saw the Dead Sea running from her eyes
Don't be surprised
When your grandmother dies
And I was searching for a god to blame,
It was just another season to change
And the migratory birds fly,
as she wipes the Dead Sea from her eyes
Don't be surprised
When your grandmother dies
(Instrumental)
As I watch the childs play,
Soon they will pass away
Just like the spring sprouting new leaves,
Only to be taken by the winters breeze
(Harmonic)
Now she's forever under a stone,
Grandfather, grandmama's coming home
And the spring can sigh,
As we wipe the Dead Sea
Running from our eyes
Don't be surprised
When your grandmother dies
