Flowers That Fade in My Hand

Do you know, it scared me to death When I first saw you right after this Your face so pale on that sheet in that chest Really, man, it scared me to death They called in the morning Told me you had died last night I cried my eyes out The sorrow blinded me for light Like flowers that fade in my hands Everywhere I feel your presence I've grown since you left, you must be inside me Sometimes I hear you talking though my mouth And sometimes I know you're seeing through my eyes The father I once knew Has become a close friend The skill in my hand It makes me understand that we're Like flowers that fade in my hands Mother said you would have liked To stay a little longer I don't want to think about What could have been or not Now I know you haven't gone You're still here by my side Into every straw of grass Or in the fading light I wouldn't mind to follow you Any time or day And inbetween, I've gotta go A long and winding way Now I know that death has no scares Within the remains I've got my share And I know my death has no scares There is no mysterium for someone who dares to die And when I'm with you Next to the flowers on your grave It's such a comfort To feel the earth that leads to you Like flowers that grow from your hands...
