Allen Ginsberg - Father Death Blues

Allen Ginsberg - Father Death Blues

Hey Father Death, I'm flying home br Hey poor man, you're all alone br Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going br br Father Death, Don't cry any more br Mama's there, underneath the floor br Brother Death, please mind the store br br Old Aunty Death Don't hide your bones br Old Uncle Death I hear your groans br O Sister Death how sweet your moans br br O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths br Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths br Pain is gone, tears take the rest br br Genius Death your art is done br Lover Death your body's gone br Father Death I'm coming home br br Guru Death your words are true br Teacher Death I do thank you br For inspiring me to sing this Blues br br Buddha Death, I wake with you br Dharma Death, your mind is new br Sangha Death, we'll work it through br br Suffering is what was born br Ignorance made me forlorn br Tearful truths I cannot scorn br br Father Breath once more farewell br Birth you gave was no thing ill br My heart is still, as time will tell.
