"Death is just a door," Blake said it first It's just another room we enter, it's the threshold that hurts Birth is just a chorus, death is just a verse In the great song of spring that the mockingbirds sing We come and we go a-weeping and a-wailing, our heads in the hands of the nurse Put your head on my shoulder, baby, tell me where it hurts You say you lost your one and only, could it get any worse?
