We All Lose One Another

So this is the day of the dead
Of St. Jude and the lady of Guadeloupe
Apples and oranges
And silver coins for ghosts to gamble with
Marigolds and candles
This is birth and this is death
All in the same breath
We all lose one another along the way
So this is the day of the dead
Bound by love unbound by flesh
This is for those who have gone before
Flower petals falling on the altar
This is just a gift
This is birth and this is death
All in the same breath
We all lose one another along the way
