YOU WERE GOOD IN YOUR TIME
(Morrissey/Whyte)

[Pépé le Moko]

Let the heart rest 
lay back your head 
you were good in your time 
and we thank you 

You made me feel less alone 
you made me feel not quite so 
deformed, uninformed and hunchbacked 

Time takes all breath away 
you were good in your time 
and we thank you so 
so 

You said more in one day 
than most people say 
in a lifetime, it was our time 
and we thank you 

An end-of-the-ride sigh 
your soft smile says: 
“please understand, I must surrender.”

Then you grip with your hand 
now so small in mine 
are you aware wherever you are 
that you have just died?
