|
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 |
| [1st time: you are my son] |
Far goes your journey into the unknown wherever you might be be well my son <i> |
|
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] |
