on the day of the funeral i hope it s raining outside don t forget your umbrella keep it there by your side and on the way to the service play this song in the car sing along with the chorus if you know it by heart now i lay me down pale horse and rider make the rounds ashes to ashes and dust to dust leave a light on for us leave a light on for us on the day of the funeral i wonder who will attend i wonder if they ll be grieving or if they ll have to pretend close the lid on the casket lay these bones in the ground raise a glass to the occasion raise one more to wash it down now i lay me down pale horse and rider make the rounds ashes to ashes and dust to dust leave a light on for us leave a light on for us leave a light on for us
