And it’s just a box of rain
I don’t know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare.
And it’s just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there.
One of the songs I have on my funeral playlist.
‘And it’s just a box of rain’
Phil Lesh’s paean to his dying father...
