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 [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]
