Cold Box

He went away in a cold box
In a cold box, he went
On to meet those who died before
Those who died before he went
Away in a cold box
And around him, we wailed

Everybody cried, everrybody wailed
Everybody cried, everrybody wailed
Everybody cried, everrybody wailed
He went away in a cold box
Dead

He looked so young, in his cold box
Where breathless, he laid
Leaving those who needed him alive
Alive for a long long while
He looked so young, in his cold box
And around him we wailed

Everybody cried, everrybody wailed
Everybody cried, everrybody wailed
Everybody cried, everrybody wailed
He went away in a cold box
Dead

He went first but
Later we shall go
Away in a cold box
Dead
