lyrics

I was woken this morning
By the sound of a mourning dove
A requiem for the memories we made

And I fall out my bed
Meant for two, sleeps one instead
Remarkable how the night still turns to day

And the sun, it turns sour
The sky’s more bitter by the hour
The rain clouds are a blossoming bouquet

Picked a rose from your garden
And I laid it at your grave
It’s been three long years since you passed away

In a song, yes a song
Oh I loved you all along
And I waited so very long before I found you

Now you’re gone, yes you’re gone
And my song swells like the sea
I am weeping whitecap tears since I lost you

There’s a reason for the river
And a reason for the rain
I have washed my sins in pools of pain

They accompanied your passing
And accosted me with shame
You can wash away but you cannot rid a stain

All I’ve left of you is buried
In a closet, in a box
A skeleton of a love that can’t remain

There are moments when I’m lowest
And I open up that treasure
To bury my senses in your scent

You used to call me sweetheart
And you used to call me babe
Now I call to you when my nightmares bear your name

It is written into granite
On a headstone at your grave
Where my roses wilt in a pyre of dying flame
