been listening to this song a lot lately for various reasons

We never held a funeral
'Cause of the consequence they bring
Letting go is never easy
Even when you're empty and even when you're alone
I hope they played you Otis Redding
I hope you heard me hum along
As those arms of yours went down into the dark

And I'm on the docks again
Looking out at that awful ocean
Watching the tide take you away
I know you ain't resting your bones
I know you ain't made it back home
At least the loneliness gave you a break

And my phone rang a year later
With your smile haunting me
And I finally broke at a rental home
In Joshua Tree
And I tell myself it gets better
But it never gets any easier when your voice
It ain't on the other side

I hope they played you Otis Redding
I hope you remembered I named my guitar
After your favorite singer of your favorite song
And I break down every time I see
That old Spanish nylon that you bought
It never comes off the shelf anymore
