You don't worry about tomorrow anymore,
'Cause you're dead
Does anything still echo?
Is there any trace left?
Well I know she still remembers,
She sleeps with your picture by her bed
They shaved your face and washed your hair clean
You were wearing the jacket that I met you in
How could I not have guessed?
She would fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
Fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
Fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
God damn it (God damn it)
God damn I miss my dead friend
I miss my dead friend
We buried your body into the hard Oklahoma ground
John Paul Allison, the orphan boy Pope
Now she waits for you to haunt her
She sleeps with your ghost at night in bed
When you died you were only twenty six
The most real person that I've ever met
Well how could I not have guessed?
She would fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
Fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
Fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
God damn it (God damn it)
God damn I miss my dead friend
I miss my dead friend
Or your cold dead hands
Or your cold dead lips
Or your cold dead heart
Or your cold dead kiss
Or your cold dead hands
Or your cold dead lips
Or your cold dead heart
Or your cold dead kiss
Well how could I not have guessed?
Well how could I not have guessed?
She would fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
Fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
Fall in love with the first boy
She kissed in a casket
God damn it (God damn it)
God damn I miss my dead friend
'Cause you're dead
Does anything still echo?

She sleeps with your picture by her bed

I listened to this song for the first time right around the news was announced that one of my friends had just died---this song came out at the perfect time for a moment of much needed healing
Brilliant song off of a great new album
