Funeral Parlor

sitting in the funeral parlor

on the night before the day

think i might have left the stove on

think i might have left the door unlocked

i don't know if the stores will all be closed

when i get out

i don't know if the chores will all be done

when i get home



sitting in the funeral parlor

listen to the organ play

what if i forgot the trash cans

what if i forgot to telephone

i don't know if i wrote the number down

in my book

i don't know if i can stand to stay here

one more second
