Why can’t I come?

You have gone before me
I tried to keep up
Following like a lost pup
To be or not to be
Still couldn’t see
The question never came up
You left me with the bill, like Jesus’ last sup
One last wood ride from a branch tree

I’m wearing all black
Tears fall like rain
All gathered round to say goodbye
There’s no coming back
No losing this pain
No matter how hard I try

Why can’t I come?
