The Jason Jones Band - The Wake (Stardust & Whiskey) Lyrics

Throw all the windows wide open
But make sure the curtains are drawn
Stop the clock and cover the mirrors
Until all of the spirits are gone
And the boys are done with their weeping
And the girls have all gone to bed
Raise a glass to the departed
Because all of the words have been said
You are born today
Third times a charm, you are new again
On your way
From the world and its agony
Rise up and come with me
Rise up and come home with me
The ground is wet from a Springtime rain
The flowers laid round so discreetly
The air it rings as the songbirds sing
Of a promise sweet as honey
So put on your black and your best dress shoes
Don't mind the mud we are dragging
'Cause we all break the bonds of this earth in the end
And we all end up forgiven
You are born today
Third times a charm, you are new again
On your way
From the world and its agony
Rise up and come with me
Rise up and come home with me
The choices we've made and the games we have played
Have written the chapters we've lived in
And we've been here so long we stopped counting our sins
As we patiently wait for the ending
But no worries friend, you've had your last breath
And lead us all into the gloaming
Follow we shall when it is god's will
Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey
Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey
Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey
Stardust that's been soaked in whiskey
