Condolences — Percy Shaw & The Murgatroyd Brawlers

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"
