Messages From the Grave (single)

from Messages From the Grave (single) by Phil Gammage

lyrics

She studied her pen in the light.
Another poem, another night.
She wrote every word as an epitaph.
Hers is the winnower and they, life’s chaff.

Whatever is left whatever would be saved,
will be her messages from the grave.

She spoke as a nomad of her life on the road.
Strangers met on a bus and the men she’s known.
It could be that no words ever survived,
not a memory left of where she died.

Whatever is left whatever will be saved,
will be her messages from the grave.

I saw her in a dream, standing in the doorway.
I heard her confess, then start to pray.
Wandering the street, I heard the calling.
Behind me now, I feel her walking.

Whatever is left whatever will be saved,
will be her messages from the grave.
