lyrics
I hope these words reach you well
And that sorrow hangs in clouds that pass you by
And that the heavens never open
I don’t think heaven is an option to rely upon
I don’t think heaven is an option to rely upon
I think I’m right, your mother probably thinks I’m wrong
It doesn’t matter like it does to be true
Keep your self-respect with you at all times, as I’ll be willing you to
Keep your self-respect with you at all times, as I’ll be willing you to
You were lucky that your times in and out passed
I was fortunate to see you sit on my grandfather’s lap
If there’s a fire in the picture house, it’s not always so bad to be the last one out
If you’re looking out for others you’ll always be doing something right
Sometimes it takes a whole lot of effort to pull on through
Do you remember growing up pictures in the house of a girl you never knew
If you ever need that extra something, a requisite from The Great Beyond
She’ll maybe be the breeze blowing you through
She’ll be one of many winds that I’ll be sending to guide you through
This one’s for your mother wherever she may be
She’s the heart that thumps in you it was her heart that captured me
Be it ashes in your rose bed, or underneath them Yew trees
She’ll always be the one lying next to me
She’ll always be the one lying next to me.
