It’s time to lay my head down,
I can hear the weeping song,
There are sirens in the distance
As the church bells sound along.
Mourning ushers in the rain,
Clouds are heavy like their hearts,
I sing to them their weeping song
Until their world is dark.
We are all stars in the sky,
We all shimmer then decay,
So I wonder – did I burn out, make a mark
Or fade away?
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I am the storm that never leaves.
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I bring the weather with me.
I’m the ship in the bottle,
Rain pouring down on me,
I sing songs for my funeral
That I will never see.
You were my shining light
Oh, you were heaven sent!
But now I’m not afraid of leaving,
Not of God, and not of Death..
We are all stars in the sky,
We all shimmer then decay,
So I wonder – did I burn out, make a mark
Or fade away?
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I am the storm that never leaves.
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I bring the weather with me.
Now place the pennies on my eyes,
I’ll sleep with the stars tonight.
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I am the storm that never leaves.
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I bring the weather with me.
