(Past-Due) Lyrics

Artist: The Weakerthans
Album: Reconstruction Site

February always finds you folding
Local papers open to the faces
Passed away to wonder what they€™re holding
In those hands we€™re never shown the places
Formal photographs refuse to mention
His tiny feet, that birthmark on her knee
The tyranny of framing our attention
With all the eyes they€™re eyes no longer see

And darkness comes too early you won€™t find
The many things you owe these latest dead
A borrowed book, that check you didn€™t sign
The tools to be believed with be beloved
Give what you can to keep to comfort this
Plain fear you can€™t extinguish or dismiss
