Alliswell - Trees And Tombstones lyrics

rate me

You were as pale as a ghost<br />

In the dead of winter<br />

Your breath rose like smoke, <br />

It very well, could've been<br />

Your soul. That escaped<br />

From your lungs, like a melody left unsung.<br />

You were never meant for this world.<br />

<br />

You were never meant for this.<br />

<br />

Now I'm knelt down by your headstone<br />

Wondering if you are alone, where you are now.<br />

I think to way way back before you left<br />

To lay down in your flowerbed, <br />

When I held your hand and prayed<br />

That you would stay<br />

<br />

Still sometimes I feel the rain even when it's dry<br />

<br />

I want to hear you sing, <br />

That song you wrote for me, <br />

You were my anchor, you always kept me steady, <br />

But now I'm lost at sea, and drifting aimlessly<br />

I need to hear your voice to guide me back home again.<br />

<br />

In many ways, I began the grieving process, long before you left.<br />

<br />

In the end, I took harder than my sister and my father, <br />

I just couldn't let you go, <br />

It took took took all I had to give<br />

To stay afloat on a sinking ship, <br />

When we knew very well, just where this would end<br />

<br />

"I think it's time, I think it's best for my tired head to come to rest"<br />

<br />

Sing me to sleep, <br />

I'll wait for you in my dreams
