In Billy's Wake
by Steve Bell

Album: Kindness

We're not alone
Laundry awash in the mid-morning sun
You can see angels dance as they try blouses on
There is good work to do

We're not alone
Casting long shadows as the day wears on
Billy had troubles now Billy is gone
There is good work to do

Kissing eyelids closed like caskets
Breaking bread and filling baskets
Pressing dress and swabbing soiled floor
Fast remains of feast and fanion
Evidence of ghost companions
Greeting some and showing some the door

We're not alone
Silently watched by a sliver blue moon
Closed casket wake in a cold living room
There is good work to do

We're not alone
Laundry awash in the mid-morning sun
You can see angels dance as they try trousers on
There is good work to do
