Letra de Mourner's Lament

Let me stay here by your side Be one with you my precious child Let me cover your bed with tears I will save you from all fears I burn the candles for your soul I sing you prayers as the preacher told I bring you flowers, I dress in black Though I know this cannot give you back I sleep by your shadow Remembering your light In my heart I'm with you every night Far goes your journey Into the unknown Wherever you might be Be well my son Why just you my flesh and blood I cannot live nor understand My dearest treasure to be found Six feet under in sacred ground Watch me bleed you lucky ones I envy you your living sons I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath I will mourn him to my death I sleep by your shadow Remembering your light In my heart I'm with you every night Far goes your journey Into the unknown Wherever you might be Be well my son Rest in peace Let me stay here by your side Be one with you my precious child Let me cover your bed with tears I will save you from all fears I burn the candles for your soul I sing you prayers as the preacher told I bring you flowers, I dress in black Though I know this cannot give you back I sleep by your shadow Remembering your light In my heart I'm with you every night Far goes your journey Into the unknown Wherever you might be Be well my son
