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]
