May Kindness Be Your Epitaph You stood by the window As you waved goodbye And I walked the road Under a dance hall sky The angels were shakin' The clouds from their eyes It's a bad day in heaven When a good love dies And I took no mementos I erased all the years 'Cause words have no meaning When nobody hears If the past is the past Then today is all lies Say a prayer for tomorrow When a good love dies Days of wrath, dies irae I take the path, that winds away Dies irae, days of wrath May kindness be your epitaph When I stood at your doorstep Like a phantom of dust I was looking for kindness You were looking for trust We were guilty of nothing We were simply unwise But no one is innocent No one is innocent When good love dies Days of wrath, Dies irae We never know to whom we pray Dies irae, days of wrath May kindness be your epitaph Will I still remember The last thing you said As the sun rose slowly On the edge of your bed And I heard you cry "What will happen to me?" When you already knew the answer "What will be... will be"
