Grotesquerie
It has been so long since
I have seen the light of day
Sickness fell upon our home
And carried you away
Tearing out, tearing out
You’re tearing out my heart
Long ago and far away
When everything was grand
I held you just like a bird
Within my tired hand
Tearing out, tearing out
You’re tearing out my heart
Though I know that everything
Will never be the same
Still I wander through the house
A-whimpering your name
Tearing out, tearing out
Tearing out my heart
