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
