She was just five years old.
|
A slightly moody day.
|
She couldn't stay away, from that rivers edge and I.
|
I turn my back to count.
|
All the daffodil seas that surrounded.
|
I close my eyes, and then heard the water wake up.
|
|
And I, I can still hear that scream,
|
It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.
|
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)
|
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
|
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.
|
|
Where did you go?
|
Where'd you go?
|
Where'd you go?
|
Hey, where'd you go?
|
|
Were the angels that lonely?
|
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
|
Can't everybody just lie to me.
|
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
|
Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
|
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, oh it took her away.
|
|
It's been five years since then.
|
And when it hits September..
|
I'll feel like I'm dying again.
|
Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me!
|
Isn't this pain, guilt enough?
|
I can't even look out the window, without seeing reflections distorted in the sun.
|
|
And I can still hear that scream, it's still lingering,in the air,everywhere
|
Mother please save me grab my hand (i can't i can't)
|
I can still see that face,sink beneath the waves.
|
Baby please, breath for me, give me time i am here .
|
|
Where did you go?
|
Where'd you go?
|
Where'd you go?
|
Hey, where'd you go?
|
|
Were the angels that lonely?
|
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
|
Can't everybody just lie to me.
|
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
|
Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
|
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, oh it took her away.
|
|
And the pain hits me like gunshot.
|
And I'm heading on the way to the floor, I hear her name and it kills me.
|
Oh, Bottles up, Bottles up, Bottles up.
|
|
And I'm trying my best to hurt me.
|
Ian says it's never enough.
|
A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear, cough it up, drink it up, drink it up.
|
|
Were the angels that lonely?
|
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
|
Can't everybody just lie to me.
|
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
|
Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
|
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, oh it took her away.
|
|
So I had a coma, when I crashed my car in the lake.
|
I saw your face down there I knew, it was not a mistake.
|
So I went to the doctor. I told him, oh my heart will break,
|
If I couldn't see you. He just, gave me more pills.
|
|
But, I saw you up there.
|
Still floating by the river.
|
God, you always loved that river.
|
I bet your heaven looks just like it.
|
|
Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now.
|
But when I'm with you.
|
I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.
|
|
We can sit, we can talk about, talk about...Butterflies. Butterflies. Butterflies.
