Strange

You've died.
Deaths dark despite.
And I've cried.
The earth that buries us, I see no light.
I hold my head in my arms,
it's heavy and there's no alarm.

Stay, I'd like you to stay.
Just stay til the leaves turn brown.
It's strange now,
the silence I've found,
And I hate to think of you in the ground.

There was a frost last night.
So I drove to the graveyard and sat by your side.
Remember the time,
the baby died.
You said I love you and it will all be alright.
Topsy and Tim at bedtime.
You were our Sunnyside.
But now it's time to say goodbye

Stay, Id like you to stay.
Just stay til the leaves turn brown.
And it's strange now,
the silence I've found.
And I hate to think of you in the ground.
