The Rough Guide To World Music - Volume 2

Blue Skies

The Tombstone

[Verse]
The grass grows wild where you now sleep
The wind whispers secrets I can’t keep
Your name carved deep in stone so cold
But your warmth lives in the stories I’ve told

[Chorus]
I visit your grave as often as I can
Talk to the sky like it understands
The tombstone stands but it doesn’t reply
I miss you so much I could ask it why

[Verse 2]
The clouds roll heavy above my head
The world keeps spinning but you’re still dead
A crow watches me like it knows my pain
I wait for the sun but it starts to rain

[Pre Chorus]
The silence screams louder than words
Your absence cuts deeper than swords

[Chorus]
I visit your grave as often as I can
Talk to the sky like it understands
The tombstone stands but it doesn’t reply
I miss you so much I could ask it why

[Bridge]
I leave a flower you’ll never see
A part of my heart stays there with thee
The earth took you but it holds you near
I whisper your name hoping you’ll hear
