  • Well I've been fooled
    And I've fooled around
    No sense to lie
    About where I'm bound

    But once it's light
    And we're home
    Won't be no time to burn

    Burn through the night
    And throw me away
    Ten shovels deep
    On mother's day

    But once it's light
    And we're home
    Won't be no time to burn

    And the names
    In the fridge
    Gonna have to wait their turn

    See I'm dressed and I'm done
    Yeah I'm comin for the sun
    And I've got to get some rest

    And oh, won't you cover my face
    I'm lookin pale and it is time to go home
    Beneath the veil mother feels so alone
    Beneath the veil she's so alone

    You know I'm scared
    Scared straight to hell
    Just hear my voice
    And know I'm not well

    But once it's light
    And we're home
    Won't be no time to burn

    And the names
    In the fridge
    Gonna have to wait their turn

    See I'm dressed and I'm done
    Yeah I'm comin for the sun
    And I've got to get some

    And oh, won't you cover my face
    I'm lookin pale and it is time to go home
    Beneath the veil mother feels so alone
    Beneath the veil she's so alone

    And oh, won't you make me up nice
    While I'm around, before I get out of town
    Beneath the ground there is barely a sound
    Beneath the ground there's not a sound Writer/s: David Andrew Wallach, Maxwell C. Drummey
