Percy Shaw & The Murgatroyd Brawlers — Condolences lyrics

Lyrics

What am I to say to the father at the grave of the son he’ll never know
All that comes to mind are a bunch of worn-out lines
As I stare at the blank headstone
Maybe I should say «He's in a better place» or should I just say «I'm sorry»
What am I to say to the mother at the grave of the son she’ll never know
She eases her mind with a comforting lie
That she don’t really believe and it shows
Maybe I should say «He's in a better place» or should I just say «I'm sorry»
Maybe I should say «He's in a better place» or should I just say «I'm sorry»
Or should I just say «I'm sorry»
Should I just say «I'm sorry»
Maybe I’ll just say «I'm sorry»
