lyrics

Ring the skellet bell, she’s fully asleep
No funeral for felines, a silent eve

Inter the body to fire, fragments and ash remain
An urn in memoriam, and a ring of jade

Autumn’s decay – a dozen years’ journey
Autumn’s decay – an ode to my beloved

A bright world of calico colors, painted in wonder and felicity
Her cancer wrought deep blacks and grays, anguished colors I never knew could be

Autumn’s decay – time can’t seem to heal
Autumn’s decay – lugubrious waves of woe

A bright world of calico colors, painted in wonder and felicity
Her cancer wrought deep blacks and grays, anguished colors I never knew could be

To let the sorrow overcome, is to let the curse win
To let the depression overcome, is to bear cowardice

I yearn for her immortality
Or transubstantiation
I must settle for remembrance

Forge on, I forge on in life alone
March on, I march on in life alone
Live on, I live on in life alone
But I never relinquish the memories

Autumn’s decay – a dozen years’ journey
I loved that cat more than I can ever say
Autumn’s decay - the depths of human and animal bond
With her, was the strongest I had ever known
Ever known…

Ring the skellet bell, for her then for me
I live in her honor, cherish the memories

I know those crematorium doors, will open for me and you
In the meantime I endure, and live appreciating I had those years at all
But now I’m alone – and my decay will come too
