Burial Lyrics

Long were the days that followed my loss
She's sleeping in silent earth, amongst the moss
Strong was my grief, it ate me inside
I will bury it beside her tonight

Farewell sorrow, my friend
We're parting ways
To join yet again
From this soil you were born
Into the ground
I'll force you once more

The rising wind throws the leaves around
It starts to rain, I head back to the burial ground
Through the roots, and past the stones
I dig the hole, and rip you out of my soul

Oh sorrow, my friend
Wait for the day
You'll see me again
Your time has come to an end
To lay next to her
You will descend

Farewell sorrow, my friend
We're parting ways
To join yet again
There will be a new time
The flower of hope
You left behind

At dawn the storm has passed
The first soft morning rays
Paint the meadows
Among the stones I seek the one
And I find
A single flower grows on your grave
