Song Description

a mother mourns her dead child

Lyrics

THERE'S A TRAIL OF SMOKE ACROSS THE SKY
IT BURNS MY LUNGS AND STINGS MY EYES
NOW THERE'S ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO
THAT'S SAY GOODBYE TO YOU

I WILL NOT FIGHT, I WILL NOT LIE
I WILL NOT WATCH ANOTHER SUNRISE
STOP THE CLOCKS AND DIM THE STARS
THEY ARE NOT WANTED ANY MORE, NO MORE

THERE'S A RAGING RIVER WE MUST CROSS
TO MEET THE FALLEN, TO GREET THE LOST
I CAN SEE THEM BECKON IN MY DREAMS
THEY'RE WHISPERING TO ME

CHORUS

I WATCHED MY SON BREATHE HIS LAST BREATH
PLEASE OPEN HIS EYES AND TAKE ME INSTEAD

CHORUS
