March On - Rea Garvey

I saw the signs, how could I be so blind?

Your laughter used to shine just like a little child

You’d been so strong, so good for so long

You thought you’d even out the balance of your life

You’re dying, you’re dying

And we all will raise a glass when you’re gone, you’re gone

And the flag will fly half mast as we march on

You left a girl, innocent, pure like a pearl, askin' herself why

She wasn’t enough to stop you givin' up that stuff

Her whole world came crashin' from the skies

She’s crying, she’s crying

And we all will raise a glass when you’re gone, you’re gone

And the flag will fly half mast as we march on

Poppin' pills until you fade, hope to God your bills are paid

Try not exaggerate, any fool can make mistakes

You’ll turn it into Frankenstein every time you lose your mind

Sunday morning comin' down, it’s Sunday mornin' if it comes around

And we all will raise a glass when you’re gone, you’re gone

(As we march on) And the flag will fly half mast as we march on

(As we march on)

Is this what it’s like there?

No stress, no fear

You float like a tissue over clouds of despair

I can’t imagine what it’s like to be there

I can’t imagine why you don’t want to be here

Poppin' pills until you fade (We'll raise a glass)

Hope to God your bills are paid (When you’re gone)

Try not exaggerate, any fool can make mistakes (As we march on)

You’ll turn it into Frankenstein (We'll raise a glass)

Every time you lose your mind (When you’re gone)

Sunday morning comin' down, it’s Sunday mornin' if it comes around

(As we march on)

Well raise a glass when you’re gone, you’re gone

(As we march on) And the flag will fly half mast

As we march on (When you’re gone)

As we march on we’ll raise a glass when you’re gone

As we march on we’ll raise a glass when you’re gone

As we march on

And we all will raise a glass when you’re gone, you’re gone

And the flag will fly half mast as we march on

As we march on
