Still Close

Thought it was over

Thought you were gone

As I walked through the dark house

Wishin' your lamp was still on

I lit a candle

Was a pretty red glow

I should have known

You were still close

Thought I was lonesome

I wished it would pass

As I dreamed I could find you somewhere

In my looking glass

I saw a bird flyin'

Was a ruby red throat

I should have known

You were still close

Still close

Covered in rose petals

From your head to your feet

Still close to me

Thought you were the tree

That would never fall down

As I swept up your ashes

And put you back into the ground

I saw a flower

Was a wild red rose

That's when I know

You were still close

Still close

Covered in rose petals

From your head to your feet

Still close to me
