Bereavement


Do you think of me When you’re alone The day light has faded And the green moss has grown You’re eyes have turned weary And your heart is a stone Your days seem endless And you live them alone I watch you As you live your day through And I know when I left You swore you’d leave too Don’t be afraid baby Because I’m waiting for you No baby no You don’t need to live another day through Take a walk on the other side Be reborn after you have died Not a single life can you save Think about it When you kneel Down by my grave When I hear you talking Are you talking to yourself? Or have you replaced me With somebody else Are my pictures still there Or have you taken them off the shelf Do you write me letters But then keep them to yourself Take a walk on the other side Be reborn after you have died Not a single life can you save Think about it When you kneel Down by my grave I’m not far off land Let your dust mingle with mine I’ll pull you in If you take my line And we can live together Until the end of time Because I am yours And you are mine Take a walk on the other side Be reborn after you have died Not a single life you can save So dig a hole, let God take your soul And lay next to me down by my grave
