My ashes have been laid to rest in the old flower bed Between the roses and the daffodils While her tears soak down into the soil I stand next to her side for a while Hoping she'll sense my presence But its all to no avail I'm residing in purgatory now Just till I get the nod And the pearly gates are finally open I can't bear to see her sullen demeanour Sadness is like a chain round the heart It has a mind of its own Maybe I can leave when the chain breaks in two Not really sure when that will be But for now I will keep on trying To soothe my lovers soul I'm going to try and bring a radiance back Then hopefully she'll move on without me And think of me in memory rather than sorrow
