Now I light a candle anytime someone is sick
I mark it with your name and then I place it with a wish

Now I only think of you when somebody dies
I’ll snort it in a tissue and into the one I cry

Now I only think of you when somebody lies
I put it in a prayer and wait for you to die

I rarely ever think of you like many would advise
But when you finally pass there’ll be joy in my eyes
