Exodus
Sun Kil Moon

Showed up to Heathrow today

For the 2000th time

Got in my taxi and I learned Nick Cave's son died

The news hit me like a bus into a hill

Cause once at the K-west hotel, I met him and his son, they were standing across the hall

I mentioned to him how we both played Hultsfred in 1997

I don't believe in God, but sometimes I hope there's Heaven

The bad news hurt to hear, and it hurts to repeat, it's just sad news and I'm sorry to even speak it

I was on my way home from Perth this past March

Virgin airlines, row 23, and I watched '20,000 Days on Earth' and it inspired me

I'm very much me

And Nick Cave is very much 'He'

But we're the same in that we're both songwriters and we don't stop moving- we're like waves in the sea

I remember seeing 'Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth'

He spoke about the passing of his daughter Exodus, and how he joined The Bereaved Parents Group.

He knew when he arrived at her bed

That he was not alone

Because the parents of the other children embraced him

And they cried in the hospital

And I remembered when Danielle Steel

Lost her son at only 19 years old to an overdose on heroin

And on his bedroom window

Still remains the sticker he put there of The Misfits

Every time I walk past her home on Washington St. I look up and I glance at it

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

Parents survive their children

Its a pain very few know of

My cousin Carissa's

My friends Chris's, Brett's, and Dennis's

And my ex-girlfriend Katy's mom and dad

All became apart of the family of bereaved parents

And when my father was young


He lost his older brother Lenny

His mom and dad joined the bereaved parents group

My dad looks down on the ground and gets quiet whenever I mention his name

When my little second cousin Carissa died

My mother called me, it had been so long since I'd heard that certain cry

Not since the day she divorced my father

But they're friendly now so with that story I'd rather not bother. But I flew out there and we gathered in the living room

We all shared stories of a person of whom different amounts of depth we knew

The coffee table was filled with prescription drugs

Carissa's puppy laid at my feet and I gave Carissa's mom a hug

And she sat motionless as if there was no air

She was in a world of her own in that chair

She was the one who gave birth to Carissa and raised her- All we could do for her was be there

It's been two years and I know that for her some days are better, but the loss of a child has to be the hardest thing to bare

The loss of a child is something no parent is prepared

The loss of a child is simply unfair

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

And parents outlive their children is the cruelest cut

For all bereaved parents- I know that I don't know, but the pain has to be the worst nightmare of (?)

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I sent you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love
