lyrics

Out back behind the chapel
where long ago I married you,
there’s a little cemetery
where my love I buried you.
And we brought your favorite flowers
on your birthday every year,
and I’d say a couple words,
but our boy never shed a tear.
Like the day that he was born,
the day you went away,
when he was silent as a stone
when you were quiet as a grave.

But when the day finally came
when he finally could understand
and his tears fell down,
down to the grass,
down through the earth ,
through your coffin
and touched your hand…

And clouds swept in
from the south and from the north,
and the world became a shadow
that chilled us to the core,
and the earth began to pulse
like a giant’s slit wrist,
and you reached through and stood
before me and ask me for a kiss.

But when the day finally came
when he finally could understand
and his tears fell down,
down to the grass,
down through the earth ,
through your coffin
and touched your hand…
