about

Dedicated to Phil and Linda Marchbanks

lyrics

Remember how you told me to be brave and to be strong?
That time would heal and pain would go away?
And how you also told me that I would eventually move on,
Be that good Father you said I'd always be.
Well that's not how it's working out for me.

How long must I breathe?
How long must I cry?
How low must I feel?
Until I'm lying there along your side.

You came to me so sweetly but you left me all too fast.
I didn't realise your time was running out.
And though this life was cruel to me, I was blessed you were my wife
And I thank God for the precious time we had.
Got these things there that still make me sad.

How long must I breathe?
How long must I cry?
How low must I feel?
Until I'm lying there along your side.
Until I'm lying next to you oh,

Winter makes its way into the fragments of my heart
And I think about you more and more each day
Through those mortal words they say 'til death do make us part'
I thought I heard you calling out my name,
I thought I heard you call to me....
How long.

How long must I breathe?
How long must I cry?
How low must I feel?
Until I'm lying there along your side.
Until i'm lying next to you
How long.
