I See You In the Earth, Wind and Sky
I See You In The Earth, Wind And Sky
Darling, cut my throat if you think it best
these past days and nights I never rest
I rummage in the photo albums you gave
for a picture to lay on your lonely grave
At night I sit in bed and endlessly stare
looking for you my darling everywhere
Sweetheart, I kept you favorite perfume
I spray it everywhere in our bedroom
Your pillow I hold so close all night
futile is my miserable longing plight
I know death has you in its hidden cage
some nights I beat the walls in my rage
I see you in the earth, wind and sky
your lost beauty makes me weep and cry
Why, why did you take all those pills
our life was great, you needed no thrills
That tragic morn you failed to ever wake
I stupidly tried my own sad life to take
Darling, you would have been twenty-three
I was there for you but you were not for me
Curse the pain you have cast into my heart
no more life or family we promised to start
I sleep each night in your old antique bed
missing you, hugging your soft pillow instead
Darling, this letter will be my very last write
pistol is loaded, I'll drop the hammer tonight.
