So this is the day of the dead Of St. Jude and the lady of Guadeloupe Apples and oranges And silver coins for ghosts to gamble with Marigolds and candles This is birth and this is death All in the same breath
We all lose one another along the way
So this is the day of the dead Bound by love unbound by flesh This is for those who have gone before Flower petals falling on the altar This is just a gift This is birth and this is death All in the same breath
