No One Came to Mourn Me — So I Did

I dug the hole, I chose the place, A patch of earth without a face The preacher left when I walked in, He knew the weight I carried in

No one came to mourn me — so I did Laid my sins where I once hid No name carved, no flowers laid Just truth that time could not evade If love was ever what I bid — No one came to mourn me… So I did

My horse walked off at break of light, Didn’t wait, didn’t look — just right Even ghosts don’t haunt me now, I rode too far for them somehow

No one came to mourn me — so I sang A broken hymn, a lonesome clang No tears, no final whiskey poured — Just wind that whispered what I swore I left the world like smoke half-lit… No one came to mourn me — so I did

No one came to mourn me — so I stayed A shadow where the dead don't fade Don’t write my name, don’t mark the hill — If I’m remembered, let it chill I was the story never rid… No one came to mourn me — So I did
