Chorus: And in a state of deep decay Your flesh it rots away But I still can't accept that you have died I know that I should bury you Can't bear to let you go 'Cause I haven't got the strength to say "Goodbye"
As I lay beside you, your body oh so still Believe be love, I could never do you ill I just want to hold you, put your hands upon my flesh Your fingers so cold, the uncertain feel of death
Only you and I know what goes on behind closed doors And now I can do things to you I never could before Be still my love, as in your arms I lie A much more faithful lover than you were before you died
Chorus
Bridge: Lying in our bed, so peaceful yet so cold You will never know the joys and pain of growing old I handle you so gently, I must not increase the loss I live in mortal fear, that the best bits might fall off
Chorus
When people call to see you, I say you've gone away Only you and I know that with me you'll always stay If I bring home other lovers there is nothing you will say I know I can rely on you to stay out of the way
We never seem to argue like we use to do before And you don't come home at 4AM lay drunk outside the door And I will never find a more faithful geezer I know when I'm out clubbing your at home locked in the freezer
