Jasmine Thompson - No Poetry

I wrote this song two days after my dad’s funeral. The words are inspired by my brother’s eulogy. If you’ve followed me for a while, I think you might know how much my dad inspired my music 💛 You can listen on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/jasmine-thompson/no-poetry/s-yq5gEYaZfdq Lyrics (on subtitles) Jed said it best Oh the sun will set Only to rise again I say it’s funny, Though my eyes are wet Somehow everything’s changed But nothing I guess The words escape me every time No perfect line No poetry in dying In my grief, I’ll laugh as much as cry While life without you starts While life without you starts Tonight Maybe I’ll stand in an empty field Walk till the day makes sense Maybe I’ll see now the windows clean That there’s nothing to fear But fear itself The words escape me every time There’s no perfect line Ain’t no poetry in dying In my grief, I’ll laugh as much as cry While life without you starts While life without you starts Tonight And sad not beautiful It’s flowers At a funeral And the words escape me every time There’s no perfect line No poetry in dying In my dreams, I’ll laugh as much as cry While life without you starts Life without you starts Tonight
