To the Dearly Departed

Girl, you're slipping right through my hands

And girl, you're wondering which way to land

Oh, it's not like it was before

There's a different key to the door



And even though we may be departing

We're never alone

And even though you may feel discarded

Well, you've got a home



Boy, oh, boy, you look like you're getting old

And boy, oh, boy, never do as you are told (oh, never did)

Oh, don't you know that life ain't silver and gold

It's bought and it's sold



And even though we may be departing

We're never alone

And even though we may feel discarded

Well, we've got a home

And even though you may be downhearted

You're never alone

And even though you may be departing

Well, you've got a home
