You stand in line
A line that shuffles slowly and seems to stretch for miles
You wait to give your line
To the family all in black with their red-eyed smiles
A line about how sorry you are
About the pain they must feel
It’s all rehearsed in your head
But it just doesn’t seem real
You try to figure what to say and how to say it
You search for words that might supply some healing balm
Who knows the price of grief? but now you watch them try to pay it
Maybe it’s easier to say nothing at all
And then some day
You face the line
A line that shuffles slowly and seems to stretch for miles
You hear a thousand lines
You receive them with a nod and a red-eyed smile
These lines about how sorry they are
About the pain you must feel
It’s all rehearsed, but their eyes
Tell you the feeling is real
You won’t remember what they say or how they say it
There are no words that will supply that healing balm
You’ve learned the price of grief, and now you’re busy trying to pay it
You’ll just remember that they said something at all
You won’t remember what they say or how they say it
You’ll just remember that they said something at all
