In the middle of my mourning
Sits joy like ahappy child
In the middle of this death
I must cry with life for a while

And death is great
We are in his keep, laughing and whole
When we feel deep in life
He dares weep, deep in our soul

And you are gone
But you are perfect now
And you like to dress
You wear dresses that never fade

And you are gone
(my mother cried she said you'd gone away)

amber liquid
wetting wine cups to the stem,
spilling drops of bliss and on the earth like little gems
that myself mistook so foolishly
as I stopped to steal a drink
of the liquid in the melting
in my eyes in my hands and on my lips,
and on my lips

earthy blankets
full of golden lint and thread
I see the children play as I am on my way again
to another place
I'm sorry to say that we

how you laughed when I cried
each time I saw the tide
take our love letters from the sand
you made the vow that you would always be true
but somehow that vow meant nothing to you
now my broken heartaches
with every wave that breaks
over love letters in the sand
made the vow that you would always be true
but somehow that vow meant nothing to you
on a day like today

well I'm staring straight into the face of hell
you're so close and you can't even tell
and I'm so wrapped up inside
I don't have much to love

horrified I reel from pits unseen
falling off my pedestal of plentiful deeds
as it crumbles down on top of me
I contemplate my lack of love

Chorus
come and save my soul
before it's not too late
I'm not afraid to admit
how much I hate myself

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
you really are a heel,
you're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch,
you're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
your heart's an empty hole,
your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
