Well we buried you a saint today
We buried you so clean
Wrapped you up so carefully
In patriotic dreams
Took you to a corner
Of a world you traveled far
Cleaved the ground and lowered you
Into that gloomy dark
Said goodbye forever
Said goodbye for good
Said the things we never said
Somehow we never could
Well we buried you a saint today
Recounted all your deeds
Sixty years you ruled the world
But now you have to leave
Left your footprints scattered
In vastness of desert lands
To those of us that knew you
You’re more than shifting sand.
Said goodbye forever
Said goodbye for good
Said the things we never said
Somehow we never could
We are all just burying saints I think
Saying our goodbyes
To people that we loved so long
Who came into our lives
And I who know the desert
Will find a place to stand
Where silence seems to take control
Where silence rules the land
Said goodbye forever
Said goodbye for good
Said the things we never said
And now I wish we could.
