Let me stay here by your side
|
be one with you my precious child
|
Let me cover your bed with tears
|
I will save you from all fears
|
I burn the candles for your soul
|
I sing you prayers as the preacher told
|
I bring you flowers, I dress in black
|
though I know this cannot give you back
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I sleep by your shadow
|
remembering your light
|
In my heart
|
I'm with you every night
|
Far goes your journey
|
into the unknown
|
wherever you might be
|
be well my son <i>[1st time: you are my son]
|
Why just you my flesh and blood
|
I cannot live nor understand
|
my dearest treasure to be found
|
six feet under in sacred ground
|
Watch me bleed you lucky ones
|
I envy you your living sons
|
I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath
|
I will mourn him to my death
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Rest in peace]
|
|
[repeat 1st verse]
|
|
[Chorus]
|
