A rediscovered lyric

[mapsedge]

Given everything that's happened since January, this really speaks to me...


So the sun shines on this funeral
Just the same as on a birth
The way it shines on everything
That happens here on earth.

It rolls across the western sky
And back into the sea
And spends the day's last rays
Upon this fucked-up family.

Enough To Be On Your Way, James Taylor, 1997

I know this song not....

but if it's JT I should. Reminds me of my father in law's funeral- like something out of a fucked up play.

It's from the album Hourglass, and it's a collection of imagery from a couple of different funerals, most notably his dad's, who died in '96.
