Does it Remind You of When      How the years have gone   It's come to this   A rose on his lapel, in the open coffin I'd give him a kiss      I have to go up north to play at his funeral   And his wife is there   In some chapel she's picked out   And there's not even an organ   I have to play on some broken upright piano      Listen to these low notes      What a joke   And you have to park and you couldn't even hear the ceremony in the cemetery   because the noise from the traffic and construction is so terrible      And I stood there in the slush   And I walked along, very slowly   To the tree by the turn   And I went in front of my mother and father and sister and husband's graves   And looked over to the sun setting to the right      Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock   And I thought of myself   And I thought of them   In the cold hard ground      You still can't believe   You still can't believe      I didn't believe it then   And I don't believe it now   I didn't believe it then   And I don't believe it now   I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now   But there it is      Listen to this tune I'm playing for you now, kids   Does it seem sad   Does it remind you of when      Shady grave   Come the summer it will be   Shady grave   Come the summer it will be      Well I can hear the cars just   A hundred feet behind   And I smell the rock salt in the air   And I know in my bones it isn't fair      And the sun sets in the sleet to the side
