Mother's Cross ( Crowe/Doyle ) ©2009
v 1
How many Angels are there places for ?
Should I be scared that Heaven doesn't want any more ?
I heard the news about his mum,
Never to mend.
And I can't lift the sadness of his heart,
What do I say that won't help him fall apart ? Oh,
Why is life so beautiful that it must end?
chorus
For the rest of his days he'll never be.
Far from the cruelest truth,
of grief's companion; constancy. And,
I want to hold him,
but I'm half a world away.
Witness only to the solitude of loss.
And I'm helpless as he hangs his Mother's cross.
As he hangs his Mother's cross.
v 2
We have the platitudes,
the insufficiency of words.
Can I cut out my heart,
and feed it to you now?
Can I take any part of your pain?
My friend.
You'll never be the same.
Life so beautiful has changed.
No you'll never be the same again.
chorus
For the rest of his days he'll never be.
Far from the cruelest truth,
of grief's companion: constancy. And,
I want to hold him.
but I'm half a world away.
Witness only to the solitude of loss.
And I'm helpless as he hang's his Mother's cross.
As he hangs his Mother's cross.
bridge
Fly with me and look down from the clouds.
What a place to leave,
can you see it clearer now?
When the sun rises,
let's be up to meet the waves.
There's no more lazy days.
'Cause they've all been washed away.
And this flesh,
no surprise,
won't survive.
chorus
For the rest of his days he'll never be.
Far from the cruelest truth.
of grief's companion ; constancy. And,
I want to hold him,
but I'm half a world away.
Witness only to the solitude of loss.
And I'm helpless as he hangs his Mother's cross.
As he hangs his Mother's cross.
As he hangs his Mother's cross.
crescendo verse,repeat to fade
Her memory, in Memoriam.
Temporary leaves.
Drifting from life's tree.
Only forever, will be here eternally.
Only forever, will be here eternally.
