Floral Glass

(Album: Everything Is Temporary - 2018)

I picture your old living room the last I saw you in
Your house had a perfect view above the garden
I remember the kitchen tiles spaced black and white
Look up to see you smiling, you were happy then
(Promise I won't forget)

I hope it's peaceful where you lay
But trust me you'll still remain
In the memory of you I chose to keep

I know we lost her, but trust me she'll be okay
She may be gone but her ghost remains
Just know we miss you and that we will meet again
In another life

And I hold my mother close watching her sister go
And the arms of an angel take her home
Your floral glass, I watch your casket depart this world
To let the heavens lift you up again
(Promise I won't forget)

I hope it's peaceful where you lay
But trust me you'll still remain
In the memories of you I chose to keep

I know we lost her, but trust me she'll be okay
She may be gone but her ghost remains
Just know we miss you and that we will meet again
In another life

I'll live each day like it's my last day
I'll savour it with every last breath
And fight my way through everything because
Eventually I'll be behind the glass

I pick my mum up off the floor
I told her things I've told before
That she cannot be hurt no more
She's safe behind those golden doors
I get that you still feel alone
Hey mum that's what I'm here for
You know I'll be here all along
We're family, we will be strong

I know we lost her, but trust me she'll be okay
She may be gone but her ghost remains
Just know we miss you and that we will meet again
In another life
