Do you know, it scared me to death 
When I first saw you right after this 
Your face so pale on that sheet in that chest 
Really, man, it scared me to death 

They called in the morning 
Told me you had died last night 
I cried my eyes out 
The sorrow blinded me for light 

Like flowers that fade in my hands 

Everywhere I feel your presence 
I've grown since you left, you must be inside me 
Sometimes I hear you talking 
though my mouth 
And sometimes I know you're seeing through my eyes 

The father I once knew 
Has [bad word] a close friend 
The skill in my hand 
It makes me understand that we're 

Like flowers that fade in my hands 

Mother said you would have liked 
To stay a little longer 
I don't want to think about 
What could have been or not 

Now I know you haven't gone 
You're still here by my side 
Into every straw of grass 
Or in the fading light 

I wouldn't mind to follow you 
Any time or day 
And inbetween, I've gotta go 
long and winding way 

Now I know that death has no scares 
Within the remains I've got my share 
And I know my death has no scares 
There is no mysterium for someone who dares to die 

And when I'm with you 
Next to the flowers on your grave 
It's such [bad word] 
To feel the earth that leads to you 

Like flowers that grow from you hands...
