Oh, the Hurt
As I walk the long path I weep,
for all that I have lost to death;
still- I have memories to keep.
The breeze is a silent sweet breath.
It hurts so bad,
it makes me sad.
Why do I come?
I come for them,
those dead souls who wait for me here.
Here, in this peaceful place of tears,
where birds sing all the day in trees;
oh- I will come for all my years.
yet, if I could make time freeze.
It hurts so bad,
it makes me sad.
Why do I come?
I come for them,
to lay red roses on their tombs . . . . .
