about

This song is dedicated to the memory of Connor "The Doctor" Cunningham.

lyrics

You called yourself a doctor,
spreading laughter like disease,
with a smile that cut so deep,
but now we frown.

It's amazing how they hit you,
when you're already on your knees,
bringing your troubles to relief,
you're in the ground.

Wish you could explain what I can't see.
You were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me.
So I will fight back this pain and let it be.
Though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep kinging,
keep singing.

Now you're buried six feet under,
where the water barely seeps,
where our tears will never reach,
as they fall down.

I will run and tell another,
of the joy that you will bring,
where the music never sleeps,
you earned your crown.

Wish you could explain what I can't see,
You were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me,
So I will fight back this pain and let it be,
Though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep singing,
keep singing.

Now you're high above the rooftop,
where for tobacco we would sneak,
and I can't help but to think,
you're with me now.

Don't you ever stop your singing,
a shepherd never leaves his sheep,
an angel never needs his sleep,
stay with me now.

Wish you could explain what I can't see,
you were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me,
so I will fight back this pain and let it be,
though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep singing,
keep singing

Now you're buried six feet under,
where the water barely seeps,
where our tears will never reach,
as they fall down.

Wish you could explain what I can't see,
you were the Doctor to everyone, but a brother to me,
so I will fight back this pain and let it be,
though your time on earth is done, you're as alive as the trees.

So keep singing,
keep singing,
keep singing,
for me.
