about

Single from They're Not Gone.

lyrics

I've been forgetting ghost stories that my grandfather read to me,
right before I went to sleep, haunting my dreams
I've been singing old melodies, that my grandmother sang to me,
my voice shakes as my heart breaks, I'm out of key

What happened to my Uncle John,
Where do they go when they're not gone, Elva

I've been praying to you lately, praying for my family,
we kept faith you would take the weight off our bodies
I've been clutching your rosary, Holy Fathers and Hail Marys,
We kept faith you would take the weight off our bodies,

What happened to my Uncle John,
Where do they go when they're not gone, Elva
