I got your lovely flowers today I watched as you knelt and swept the leaves away I watched you cry as you laid them down You stayed knelt there on the ground For awail your soft crying was the only sound
Then you started talking, telling me you was sorry But I didn't need your apology I understood you couldn't come around more often I loved when you found the time to stop in It's ok we didn't spend more time togeather, life got in the way I still love you even now, today
Don't want your tears I know the future you fear You think with the passing years That I wont be near But I promise my child, I will be Just look you'll see
I'll be in the wind that moves the hair from your face I'll be the flame that warms you in the fireplace I'll be the rain that kisses your lips I'll be the light when the darkness grips I'll be that soft whisper in your ear I'll do all I can to let you know I'm near When your sad with eyes cast down I'll leave you feathers and pennies to be found
My child you don't need to leave your flowers Or to set here and cry and cower For all that remains in the grave is my bones I'm everywhere you roam So dry your eyes my sweet child, lets go home
