I didn't see you all the time
'Cause between us is a border line
And I can't forget that August day
When my parents said you've gone away
Living with it couldn't have been easy
And it took you so much sooner than we thought
And by the time I said goodbye
You couldn't hear me when I cried
If you can hear me now, know I never forgot
Coming from the same, To whom you sang when I was young
Would you be disappointed I never learned the mother tongue
Or would you be proud To see how far I've come along?
I'm hoping it's the latter, 'Cause the first seems so much sadder
Now that you're gone
The neighbors' window has no pane
And now you'll have no more again
The sheep across the street I didn't count
'Cause I never did sleep at your house
Living with him couldn't have been easy
But I hope you know he loved us nonetheless
The smoke shines through the sunlight beams
You're ladybugs dart in between
We come to you beside him when you rest
Coming from the same, That seldom straid from your backyard
Would you be disappointed I was caught inside your car
Or would you be proud To see how far I've carried on?
I'm hoping it's the latter, 'Cause the first seems so much sadder
Now that you're gone
It's not like I don't want to live like you did per se
I just that I don't want to die in the same way
All you ever wanted
Was to see us when we're grown
But now we're here remembering you
Behind this microphone
A lot has changed since you went away
But it's for the best, I swear
There's so many thing I need to say
But for now, just know I care
Now that you're gone
