Cll the things to say
On my dying day

You know the winter winds, will one day settle down
cnd all this talk of spring will push us off the ground

Oh I believe in you more than you can now know
If I could stay right here, I'd never let you go

This is an old refrain I used to sing to you
You had your mother's eyes, you weren't even two

When we left ft green you were still in our arms
We tried the best we could to keep you safe from harm

cnd in the end, in the end...

We crossed the Brooklyn bridge. We crossed the ocean wide.
We sold all of our things. We kept our open eyes.

More the century, took more than our blood and bones
More than just me and you to make this place our home

If you love someone, don't be afraid to fall
What could it mean to win when you can't lose it all

I know the stars they fall. Sometimes the sky falls too.
Sometimes a long freight train don't stop for me or you

cnd in the end, in the end, keep your heart opened

Yeah this is an old refrain I sang when you laid down
Though it may sound the same, everything's different now.

I know you'll walk away over that mountain there
If I could go with you, follow you everywhere.

cnd there are things so hard. I wish they wouldn't bruise.
Everyone that you love, you will one day lose.

cnd one day I'll have to go, I'll travel further still.
cnd I will not return no matter how strong my will.

But you know these winter winds will soon be settling
cnd even the sun will shine. One day it will be spring.

Oh it's hard, I know to carry on
Go with grace. my son
