The Funeral Songtext
von Tom Petty

And, you know, it′s just suddenly someone's not there
But I think he was there
In a lot of senses
That we could feel in there
But it was a little sad because we had just
And his funeral, I think was only about a day before the video
But we just tried to, you know, go on and hope that, you know
We did him justice and
It turned out to be a curious song for the next single, you know
The End of the Line
But I think it
You write these songs and then
It′s funny how events come down and later on when you hear the song It can mean so much more than it did when you were writing it
But uh, yes it was, and still is, unusual to have him gone
But I think Roy's okay for some reason, wherever he is
I've always felt that that if anybody was ever prepared to leave
Roy was, you know
He was a very deep man
And he had lived a lot
And then he was a very wise man
But mostly I just miss him
Uh, just to hang around with him, you know
′Cause I used to see him every day when we were making Full Moon Fever
We did a lot of it in the same studio
