Lyrics

Watched her wade, across the water in a flower dress she loved she always claimed it was her favorite but didn't wear it quite enough and she kissed me on the forehead saying, "all we love must leave us" and I know she's right, but I still deny I just don't want it to end like this. oh no Now the doctor says she don't have much time, but what she has, she spends with me and I try and help, make it easier but i'm useless, and this she sees. and I hear her cry late at night when she thinks that i'm asleep but feeling strong is better then being strong so I don't say anything, oh no And now I watch her heartbeat so fragile and weak but she still can force a smile. She says, "I love you babe, Think I'll take a nap, I'm just a little tired." and I watched her lowered in the ground, buried in that flower dress she loved. and I know it was her favorite she never wore it quite enough And your the wave of the ocean your the song of the bird you are the sunrise that swallows the earth you get that bruise from your father? where'd you get that cut on your skin? but you just stay silent did you fall down again? and I tried to talk to you, but you turn away I said, "don't do this babe, don't leave this place" Da da da da, da da da da....
