lyrics

The garden was lined with silent birds
And strangers in smart uniforms
They nodded their heads in solemn respect
As I climbed the steps to the door
I wanted to run
I wanted to scream
I wanted to be back asleep
Back in my dreams where everything seemed
So much more rational and real
But I stood and stared like a statue
Waiting for the punchline of the joke
Your hair, only barely silvered
Still smelled of fresh cigarette smoke
Well, a man who leaves a half cuppa tea
Is a man who’s not finished his work
And maybe your job was to open our eyes
To the wonder and beauty on this earth
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me
If you want to rest, my love
Then I hope it’s peaceful
But it doesn’t feel as though
You are resting at all
‘Cause I can still sense it
Your gentle spirit
I can still hear you cheering me on
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
All you were to me, you still are
And you will always be
And you will always be
