Funeral For The King by Joe Hehir

Funeral for the King played on TV
Think it had an effect on me
John Lennon got killed when I was 10
Never gonna be that young again

But I didn’t know how much that I’d been touched
Hit me deep down somewhere inside
I think it hit me hardest when the whole world cried

Kurt Cobain had so much soul
He burned out before he got old
When I found you there sitting all alone
Like you lost a friend like you lost your own

But I didn’t know how much that You were touched
Hit you deep down somewhere inside
I think it hit you hard when whole world cried

I said lights oh how they burn so bad
And they burn out so sad
they tear you apart
When darkness just won’t do lights light up the way
When darkness just won’t do lights light up the way

Ray Charles died I got so blue
I think I felt a lot like you
When you found me there sitting all alone
Like I’d lost a friend like I’d lost my own

Buddhist monks in the square break
it down for M.C.A.
B.B. King and his Lucille
Took my blues away

I think it hits you hardest when the whole world cries

I said lights oh how they burn so bad
And they burn out so sad
I said lights oh how they burn so bad
And they burn out so sad

they tear you apart
When darkness just won’t do lights light up the way
When darkness just won’t do lights light up the way
