"Sit with me, she said, no recognition in her eyes
The heavy stones within my bones where more than I could hide
Were with her when she died, and
softly asked to sit with me,
I sat and twitched, but couldn't switch,
the minutes she'd float free
I waited to be free, to lay the dog down at her feet
Her life had come into the sum of,
"Come and sit with me"
The heavy stones inside my bones where more than I could hide
And all the tears I cried on tides, not helping her or me
The day before with heavy stones,
had gone and bought the wreath
I'd almost ditched the florists switch,
with tears on shorelines tide
The heavy stones within my bones weren't helping her or me
And all the sum, that started from,
a love gone lost at sea
It ended with a final breath, She said
“Come sit with me”
