She left me in the darkness, all alone She abandoned all the good times And the love I thought we had I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the isle Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles With every earth filled shovel They dig that eternal bed I'm like a lonesome pallbearer Carrying the dead Carrying the dead She don't call me, and she don't try to And my friend can't bring her back My eyes are wide open Watching my future fade to black I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the isle Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles With every earth filled shovel They dig that eternal bed I'm like a lonesome pallbearer Carrying the dead Carrying the dead I've pondered trading places With the man laying in that hearse I tried to hold my head up But her leaving, is like a curse I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the isle Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles With every earth filled shovel They dig that eternal bed I'm like a lonesome pallbearer Carrying the dead Carrying the dead Carrying the dead
