When Our Parents Die
when we're born we're wrapped up in blanketsand baptized in water and shown around townits a good life just being a babylooking up occasionally and cooing at strangers when we live we are creatures of habitsetting the table and stocking the pantrywhen we live we are high school bus driversand mothers and fighters and losers and foolswhen our parents die we'll be young againnobody's gonna check under my bedthe day my parents diewe're insured but we're not sure of nothingtasting those memories of summer camp loveand all the proverbs and fables and wise wordscouldn't teach us nothing cause we weren't gonna listenbut when our parents die we'll be listeningthere's no sound quite like the empty houseon the day your parents dieand our minds were once throbbing spongestesting the air for the last drip of knowledgeand as we grow we are soaked in frustrationLetras de cancionesonly remembering we remembered something oncewhen our parents die we'll remember themall the things we wished we would have saidbefore the day our parents died
