Lyrics for The Author

Now, I'm gonna tell you This one born upon a kitchen table When she passed away Sleeping 'cross the shoulder of my brother Can I make you see The simple beauty in the knowing of her? If there's good in me Chant it out to her, she is the author Sing it fully in the morning Chant it wildly in the day Pray to lovers in the evening Cry it softly in the night Time's your enemy Every gift you see will be taken for sure So, I figure while you live Kiss the ones that love you For the song you sing
