Cold and Alone by Amma Prempeh

Cold and alone
In a hall filled with music 

With people trickling in

One by one

Yet, alone and cold

Cold and alone 

The tempo is higher 

The auditorium fuller

Friend and foe have come together 

To bid their final "Adieu"

Still, alone and cold

Cold and alone

The funeral cortège goes through town 

A final ride to say goodbye

Yet, the streets are empty

None to wave and sigh

None to weep and wail 

All alone and cold

Cold and alone

After all is said and done
After all that is left unsaid and undone

The exit from this world

Is but alone and cold
