[Verse] The lights are low, the room's weepin' slow Faces worn like pages in a tired, old book We gather 'round, here beneath the clock’s last tickin’ With plates piled high, tryin’ hard not to look [Pre-Chorus] Between the grief and the mashed potatoes There’s a laugh that breaks the hold A bittersweet toast to what's behind us And to stories that remain untold [Chorus] At the funeral home buffet, Where the sorrow meets the smile We’re diggin’ through the heartache, Tryin’ to stay awhile Pour another cup of comfort, Let the music play In this late-night gathering, At the funeral home buffet [Verse] Gravel in my voice, but soft as a whisper I hear a chuckle cut through the silent air Every tear’s a river running slow and deeper Yet here we find some peace with those who care [Pre-Chorus] Plates may empty, but the stories linger In the hush of a fragile night Between the laughter and the memories We hold on tight, we hold on tight [Chorus] At the funeral home buffet, Where the sorrow meets the smile We’re diggin’ through the heartache, Tryin’ to stay awhile Pour another cup of comfort, Let the music play In this late-night gathering, At the funeral home buffet [Bridge] So raise a glass to the ones gone before us They’re the shadows dancing in the flame And as the night wraps its arms around us We’re not alone, we’re not the same [Chorus] At the funeral home buffet, Where the sorrow meets the smile We’re diggin’ through the heartache, Tryin’ to stay awhile Pour another cup of comfort, Let the music play In this late-night gathering, At the funeral home buffet [Outro] Yeah, at the funeral home buffet, Where the laughs and tears collide We find a way, somehow, To keep the love alive.
