Sing a song for the dying man
Sing a song for me
Sing a song into the wind
That wrenching melody

Sing as you’ve never sung before
Sing as if you’ll break
Sing like no one’s listening
And scream out your heartbreak

Sing a song sung by many
Sing a song sung by few
Sing a song you’ve made yourself
Pretend that you’re brand new

Sing a little Irish jig
Sing out to the sky
Sing like the pretty bird
And then begin to cry

Sing a song for the widow’s son
Sing a song for yourself
Sing a song of war and pain
As they put you in the ground
