I went down to the St. Francis Memorial A morgue built over broken hearts I found a rose and I pinned it to my clothes As I tore my family apart
Let me go, let me go in peace Let me rest without any pain I don't want to be praised or spiritually saved I just want my memory to remain
Send me home, send me home dear mother Wherever it is that you may be And in the evening sun when the day is done Please don't shed a tear for me
As I walk along St. Francis Memorial Looking at the name on every stone Nothing hurts worse than the sight of a hearse Driving through the tombstones alone
