YAZ - And On lyrics

rate me

Your mother was crying<br>Your father passed her a handkerchief<br>Their tear-stained faces<br>Looked to mine for a sign of grief<br>A thousand raincoats<br>Always stand around too long<br>But I stayed to talk with you<br>After they had gone.<br>The flowers I brought you<br>Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain<br>Your name on the card had run<br>So I tried in vain to write it again<br>They didn't understand you - no!<br>They didn't even try<br>I'm so glad that you left us now<br>Before you had the chance to die.<br>I sat there for a long time,<br>Expecting to turn and see you there<br>I ran my fingers through the long grass<br>Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh<br>I'm gonna miss you, dear<br>But I don't have to cry<br>I'm so glad that you left us now,<br>Before you had the chance to die<br>And oh, I'm going to miss you dear,<br>But I'm not going to cry<br>I'm so glad that your life stopped now,<br>Before it had the chance to die.
