Lyrics

On a Market Drayton winter's day
I went to a funeral and started to play
Don't say a prayer for me
Save it 'til the morning after

A Monovision t-shirt was on your back
When the car hit a patch of ice
And that's not an image that I want to see
For twenty odd years it's been bothering me

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Bleak and cold and crying
Is there anyone left in this world to trust
By now you should be flying

A few weeks later I was back again
With very little warning
At the chapel of rest there was snow on the ground
A bright cold February morning

But this time my world was torn apart
When the blood stopped flowing through your heart
And never again would I see you smile
So I kissed your forehead and cried for a while

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Bleak and cold and crying
Is there anyone left in this world to trust
By now you should be flying

Six men in total
Three either side
The doors to the church
Were opened wide
The final chapter
The last farewell
Back in the car
To the toll of the bell
I want you to hear
I want you to see
Wake up listen
Look Dad it's me
It's me
It's me
It's me

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Bleak and cold and crying
Is there anyone left in this world to trust
By now you should be flying

On a Market Drayton winter's day
I went to a funeral and started to play
Don't say a prayer for me
Save it 'til the morning after

A Monovision t-shirt was on your back
When the car hit a patch of ice
And that's not an image that I want to see
For twenty odd years it's been bothering me

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Bleak and cold and crying
Is there anyone left in this world to trust
By now you should be flying

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Bleak and cold and crying
Is there anyone left in this world to trust
By now you should be flying
