And On (2008 Remastered Version) (2008 Digital Remaster)

Your mother was crying

Your father passed her a handkerchief

Their tear-stained faces looked to mine for a sign of grief

A thousand raincoats always stand around too long

But I stayed to talk with you after they had gone

The flowers I brought you

Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain

Your name on the card had run

So I tried in vain to write it again

They didn't understand you no they didn't even try

I'm so glad that you left us now

Before you had the chance to die

I sat there for a long time

Expecting to turn and see you there

I ran my fingers through the long grass

Willing it to turn into your hair and oh

I'm gonna miss you dear

But I don't have to cry

I'm so glad that you left us now

Before you had the chance to die

And oh I'm going to miss you dear

But I'm not going to cry

I'm so glad that your life stopped now

Before it had the chance to die
