Lyrics
The night was black
the door was wide
they pulled the sheets across his eyes
so much pain lies upon a face
brings a tear drop to the eyes
a look of death through the eyes of life
the mirror in our eyes
when your gone thats where you'll stay
is that so hard to realize
was he given the fair chance
did you hear that knock upon the door
to much pain to listen
but all that love to ignore
buy buy to this world
when your gone that's where you'll stay
buy buy to this world Roddy's leaving us today
Birch to Maple, to San Cruz
the walls that harden our own eyes
leave us the road the sanity
loneliness was his demise
