The mourning seems to follow me round
I hear it quench and I savour the sound 
And my grandmother lay on the settee 
And there were moments she did not recognise me 
And Rocky was nearby because he knew
Something I could not put words into 
And the past comes to mind 
And I’m full of tears at what’s left behind 
And they say that that’s just life 
Because everybody’s wife 
Must someday leave this ground 
And the weight of hate abound 
As the countries bomb each other 
And someone cries for their brother
Who is caught in the crossfire
But the powers that be never seem to tire
Of inflicting wrath
And I can’t go back 
To how it was before 
Before I lost you, mo stór 
I was fourteen and the cracked glass
Never thought to ask 
Who it was breaking 
But I know I am not forsaking 
What we are 
I look up at every star 
And see you there
And the grief is sometimes more than I can bear
Then the light shone 
And it was like the pain was gone 
But how can I love you if I don’t remember
The loss that your departure engender 
And I sit beside you in the hospital bed
But I know you are not in your head
I can feel you floating somewhere above
Looking down and blessing me, love
Like you’ve done for my whole life 
I’m just glad no one lives twice 
Because I don’t think I could lose you again
And in this world of men 
There is a female blessing 
That comes through the fold that is distressing 
To my core 
I don’t know if I believe in God anymore 
But I believe that love endure 
And you taught me what it means to be pure
