The Dead Don't Care

from A Tree Fell And Other Songs by Dusty Stray

/

lyrics

In the dark, silent cemetery
We let our hands wander round
I was sure you would wake the dead with that
High-pitched whimpering sound
I thought we’d be damned to heaven
Entering the gates of hell

In the light from a nearby chapel
You had a colorful glow
Only later on did I realize
It was a stained glass window
You swore you felt the spirit
Of a little girl

And we danced on some graves there
And you laughed and said, “The dead don’t care”

Though only one summer evening
It seemed an eternity
And I never felt so myself
As that night that you were with me
Your eyes looked right into me
Where no one had looked before

And we danced on some graves there
And you laughed and said, “The dead don’t care”
