IF YOU WERE DEAD 042010 - COOKIES

James Michael Taylor

If you were dead my life would be simple
I’d hurt and miss you like I do
But the missing would be different, if you were dead
If you were dead it would be all over
I’d cry and write a song or two
But the songs would be different, if you were dead
If you were dead, it would be final
I’d withdraw and wander like I do
But the wandering would be different, if you were dead
If you were dead, I would be sleeping
I’d toss and dream my dreams of you
But the dreaming would be different, if you were dead
A lot the same. No earthly blame
Just curse and carry on
If you were dead. it could be managed
I’d still do the dishes like I do
But doing dishes would be different, if you were deadA lot the same. No earthly blame
Just curse and carry on…
